CANFIELD, Ohio - Canfield’s annual tree lighting celebration has been moved up one day and school has been canceled due to Friday’s championship football game.

The Rotary Club of Canfield has rescheduled the Lighting of the Green from Friday night to Thursday, December 1st at 6:30 p.m.

The change was made because the Cardinals are set to take on Bloom-Carroll at 3 p.m. Friday for the Division III State Championship.

All activities will follow the original time schedule.

Santa is expected to arrive at 7:00 pm. Hilltop and CH Campbell students will perform in the Methodist Church at 7:15 pm.

The Mahoning Dispatch, located on S. Broad next to the Canfield Township building, is open for the event.

There will also be an open house at the new Dispatch center and carriage rides around the Green.

In addition, the Canfield Local School District has announced that classes have been canceled on Friday December 2.
