When it comes to decorations, it’s not too early to get into the holiday spirit!

Hull Municipal Light Plant and the Hull Nantasket Chamber of Commerce are again sponsoring the “Light Up Hull” adopt-a-lamppost holiday light campaign.

The second annual program provides Hull residents and businesses with an opportunity to show their “Holiday Hull” spirit by helping to beautify 33 lantern-style lampposts in the Surfside area – from Water Street to Anastos Corner –with lighted garlands and bows, and also double-sided lighted wreaths and festive lighting in the Kenberma shopping district for a donation ranging from $25 to $500.

“We’re excited to broaden our footprint this year after last year’s success with the support of the light board, town manager, and the Nantasket Hull Chamber of Commerce … offering folks the chance to suggest other places that might be suitable for a small display,” Hull Municipal Light Plant Administrative Assistant Anne Finley told The Hull Times.

Individuals, families, and businesses that make a $150 tax-deductible contribution will have their names displayed as sponsors on a lamppost for the 2024 holiday season.

There are also supporting patron opportunities – $25 donation, Red Level sponsor; Silver Level, $250; and Gold Level, $500. Red Level sponsors will have their names displayed on a gift tag. Silver and Gold Level sponsors have the option of putting their donation toward lighting a pre-approved additional town location of their choice, such as the library – also with personalized gift tags – Finley explained.

Campaign supporters and sponsors will be featured in local advertising and social media and on an appreciation certificate displayed at town hall and at the light plant, along with an invitation to, and recognition at, a special holiday event.

LIGHT TOUCH. The Hull Municipal Light Plant and the Hull Nantasket Chamber of Commerce are again sponsoring the ‘Light Up Hull’ adopt-a-lamppost holiday decorating campaign. The effort will focus on wreaths and lighting in both the Surfside and Kenberma business districts.

“The donations associated with the decorating campaign pay for the wreaths and the cost of keeping the holiday lights lit throughout the season,” Light Board Chair Patrick Cannon told The Hull Times.

Inserts about the holiday campaign will be included with upcoming electricity bills and have been sent out to last year’s contributors.
