PRIME TREE LIGHTING: Prime – An American Kitchen and Bar (117 New York Ave., Huntington 631-385-1515 www.restaurantprime.com) presents the first of what they hope will be an annual tradition with a Holiday Tree Lighting on Huntington Harbor at Prime on Monday, Nov. 29 beginning at 5:30 p.m. “There is no better time to gather with one’s neighbors or to recognize our children in need than during this season of goodwill. On behalf of the Bohlsen family and the team at Prime, we invite those who live and work in our community to this first Tree Lighting on Huntington Harbor, in what we hope will become a tradition,” said Prime Restaurant co-owner Michael Bohlsen. Against the scenic backdrop of Huntington Harbor, Prime will be a winter wonderland of lights, festive caroling, photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and hot chocolate and seasonal cookies. The highlight of the evening will be the lighting of a 30-foot balsam fir adorned with 25,000 white lights by guest of honor Kevin Lawlor, Huntington Hospital’s president and chief executive officer. Joining him on the platform will be Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone. Lawlor represents the evening’s charity of honor, the Clark Gillies Children’s Emergency Care Center at Huntington Hospital. “We hope to forge a long-term relationship with Huntington Hospital and particularly the children’s unit. Of course, Prime is a neighbor and the Bohlsen Family Foundation has a special interest in community healthcare. Yet the hospital holds another important place in our family’s life. It is the place of both my and my brother Kurt’s birth.”
