By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff

Town Secretary Jan Lillie provided the impetus for the new town Christmas tree.
 
HANCOCK, Mass. — Scores of residents turned out Saturday evening to ring in a new town tradition.
 
A light coating of snow was on the ground, and holiday spirit was in the air as Hancock lit its new town Christmas tree on the lawn in front of Town Hall.
 
Selectmen Chair Sherman Derby credited Town Secretary Jan Lillie with the inspiration to create an opportunity for residents to celebrate the season and have a permanent symbol to light up the night sky throughout December.
 
Over the summer, a tree was transplanted from a resident's home to the seat of town government on Hancock Road (Route 43). A group of volunteers decorated the tree with lights donated by Bloom Meadows
 
"I just wanted to have a community event to bring everyone together," Lillie said prior to Saturday evening's festivities.
 
Santa Claus came to town to visit with youngsters, and everyone enjoyed snacks donated by Bluebird and Company restaurant.
