It's time for our sixth annual Community Christmas Tree Lighting and we hope you'll join in the festivities. Please bring an ornament to hang on our virtual tree and be prepared to describe both the ornament and its significance. Is it handmade or a family heirloom, big or small, made of paper or tin, shiny or sparkly, and does it light up or play music? The lights and garland are already in place. We just need the ornaments and to plug the lights in. And you'll want to be there to learn who is chosen to place the star atop the tree!
