Ansonia Mayor David S. Cassetti held a virtual Christmas tree lighting Thursday at Veterans Park. He was assisted by Aspen, 7, and Santa who made a special trip to town from the North Pole just for the event.
They were joined by the Rev. Jeffrey Gubbiotti, the mayor's wife, Ina, and Champ.
Aspen and the Jolly Old Elf stayed socially distanced as they followed COVID-19 safety protocols.
Here are links to two videos of the tree lighting to enjoy:
