The Palmer Square tiger sported a festive garland for the annual tree lighting ceremony on the green Friday, November 28. Captured for Town Topics by photographer Charles R. Plohn, Princeton’s iconic feline exudes quiet dignity against a backdrop of 32,000 colored lights on the 65-foot Norwegian spruce. Santa Claus and characters from American Repertory Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker” were on hand to celebrate as members of The Princeton High School Choir sang. (Photo by Charles R. Plohn)
