Lincoln Commons was decorated for the holiday season, and last Saturday evening Santa arrived to help ring in the holiday season and light up the park – thanks to the combined efforts of Ward 7 Councillor Chris Simonelli, his colleagues and Mayor Gary Christenson. Malden Director of Public Works Bob Knox, Police Chief Glenn Cronin and Fire Chief Bill Sullivan also played a big part in securing the park for the event and keeping it safe for the residents in attendance.
