This Monday, the International Show hosted a private reception in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the Park Avenue Tree Lighting. This long tradition of illuminating the trees on Park Avenue began as a way to honor the men and women who died in World War II, and it continues to serve as a memorial to all who have made the greatest sacrifice for their country.
It was particularly appropriate to gather at the Armory as it was home to the original Seventh Regiment who participated in the first ceremony in 1945. This Veterans Day, the process of installing the trees from 54th to 96th Street will begin. Mark your calendars for December 5th, when they will be lit for the 65th year in a row.
