On December 18th, Mayfield Senior welcomed families to its first-ever Grand Illumination in celebration of their 75th anniversary. At 5pm, guests enjoyed warm cups of hot chocolate and gathered on Pergola Lawn, eagerly waiting for the Women’s Ensemble to begin singing classic Christmas carols. As the first notes of Joy to the World rang out, the campus instantly illuminated. Bright lights sparkled throughout the campus grounds as cheers and applause filled the air, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Families lingered to enjoy desserts, sing along with the choir, and take photos with Santa. Together, the community celebrated this memorable milestone together, marking the holiday season and 75 remarkable years at Mayfield.
