Anyone attend the first annual tree lighting ceremony last night at Wilson Park? Took the Grandkids, but was pretty disappointed.

Maybe I just expected too much. They spent 15 min. reading a list of deceased people. There was nothing except the children singing (which was very good). There were no vendors for food or anything. The general atmosphere was not very exciting. At least the mayor's speech was very short. And, if you were not standing next to the singing, you could not even see them. Very bad set up.

Realistically, no vendor in his/her right mind would set up for coffee or hot chocolate for an event which is so small and so short. There are several establishments within walking distance that serve warm beverages. The purpose of the event is not to hawk beverages and sovinirs; the purpose is to bring in the Christmas season in a quiet, community-minded manner.
