There was a crowd of several hundred gathered for the lighting of the Carl and Joanne Foundation South Lyon Christmas Tree. This 84 foot tall beauty was lit shortly after 7:30 this evening to cheers and applause. Thank you to all that helped make this happen. #southlyonmi #Christmas2025 #Christmas

Yesterday I brought Amélie and Ryker to The Painted Croc Pottery for some holiday gifts. Always a fun time for the kids! 🎨 It was Ryker’s first time doing some finger painting. Then grabbed a pizza at Toarmina’s. Tasty 🍕! #southlyonmi #southlyonmichigan #southlyon #smallbusiness #Christmas🎄⛄️🎁
