Summary
Frank Pulley of the Palmyra Lions Club presented the club's annual slate of fall and winter events at the Square of Palmyra—trunk‑or‑treat expansion, Santa’s house and reindeer night—and requested borough assistance with barricades, safety signs and fire police when needed.
Frank Pulley, representing the Palmyra Lions Club, described the club's planned seasonal events in the downtown square and asked council for customary support for traffic control and safety resources. Pulley listed the main events: a trick‑or‑treat/Trunk‑or‑Treat expansion at the Square of Palmyra (October), Santa’s house beginning on Black Friday, a tree lighting (tentatively Dec. 7) and a “reindeer night” that features live reindeer.
The nut graf: The Lions Club requested municipal support for crowd and traffic safety—specifically barricades, fire police and coordination with the police chief and borough staff—rather than direct financial assistance. Pulley said events draw about 800 people and rely on partnerships with local groups (garden club, Rotary, Key Club and PABA) for volunteers and logistics.
Details and logistics: Pulley said the club will coordinate with borough manager and the police chief on barricades and street closures and will continue recruiting volunteers from local service clubs and student groups. He noted rising costs for attractions (for example, the vendor that provides reindeer) and said the club would continue fundraising and partner with other organizations to reduce the manpower burden on the Lions.
Ending: Councilors responded affirmatively to the requests and asked Pulley to coordinate timing and operational details with the borough manager and police chief; councilors encouraged residents to attend the events.
