The holidays are here, and this year’s Binghamton Tree Lighting was a night to remember. Recently, downtown Binghamton came alive with the sights and sounds of the end-of-year festivities the city has become known for. Families gathered, had fun, and made memories, but one special guest managed to stand out to us: Austin the Arctic Bear. Our mascot made an appearance that brought extra joy to the event, to us, and…yes, definitely to him.
Austin’s cheerful presence and festive spirit made him an instant hit, especially with those who were lucky to catch him on camera or for a high-five. Events like these remind us how lucky we are to be part of such a close-knit and vibrant community.
Our Local Tree Lighting Ceremony
This year’s tree lighting drew a record-breaking crowd to the venue. Mayor Kraham described it as “the biggest crowd” he’d ever seen for the event. The turnout wasn’t just a testament to the beautifully decorated tree or the festive activities but a tribute to community pride and connection. From young families making memories to long-time residents catching up with neighbors, it was clear the event meant something special to everyone there.
Austin the Arctic Bear was thrilled to be part of the celebration, spreading holiday cheer and soaking in the magic of the evening. It’s moments like these that make us grateful to call Binghamton home.
Small Business Saturdays
We’re proud to be part of a city that values small businesses. During his remarks, Mayor Kraham encouraged residents to shop locally this holiday season, emphasizing the importance of supporting neighborhood businesses. We couldn’t agree more.
Being a local company means more to us at Arctic Bear than just offering plumbing, heating, and cooling services. It’s about being a trusted part of the community. Over the years, we’ve grown alongside Binghamton, creating career opportunities for residents and building lasting relationships. Supporting local businesses like ours helps keep that momentum going.
