Community Tree lighting

(Writing and photos from Lauren)

An old tradition in a new way! Our community Christmas tree lighting, sponsored by the Tahsis Lions Club, has been a bit of a roller coaster since having to “retire” our original community Christmas tree a couple years ago. They tried a new tree the following year but the lights got trashed in the winter storms & last year they weren’t able to make it happen at all for multiple reasons. But this year it is BACK & it was worth the wait! They didn’t light up one tree, they lit up NINE of them! It wasn’t the usual gathering with hotdogs, hot chocolate, & a bonfire this year but half a dozen of us braved the rain to watch the lights come on! 😀 HUGE thank you to the Lions Club for purchasing the new lights & the many hours they spent decorating the trees (also sometimes in the rain).
