- Join the Mayor and Council in the countdown of the annual lighting of the holiday tree on November 23, tomorrow at 5 pm downtown at 10 north Virginia Street in front of City Hall. Billinghurst Middle School choir will sing carols prior to the lighting of the tree.
This year's tree is a Giant Sequoia donated by John O'Brian of Reno. It is approximately 55' tall and 4500 lbs.
Following the tree lighting, enjoy a preview of the Rink on the River until 9 p.m. Bring two food items for the Evelyn Mount Community Outreach or a pair of mittens/gloves/socks for the Salvation Army and receive a free skate rental. The Rink on the River opens for the winter season on Thanksgiving.
Same hideous/cheap/dated decorations I see. Too bad we don't have the money to have someone with actual talent decorate the tree. /rant
