The Christmas season arrived on Main Street last evening with the lighting of the Christmas tree in Pioneer Square.  As they prepared for the lighting Mayor George Fontaine said it’s time for everybody to be thinking about the family time that they’re going to have because the nicest time of the year is when you do all get together.  He says noted there was a nice crowd and the Community Choir was ready to sing some carols so he thinks it’s the beginning of the warm cold season.

A good crowd was on hand for the tree lighting enjoying carols, cookies, hot chocolate and a visit from Santa.
