Over 100 people braved the cold wintry night to attend the 19th Christmas Tree Lighting. Despite the bitter cold, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening while roasting marshmallows, downing gallons of hot chocolate and keeping close to the roaring fire pit. Special thanks to Ross Clow, who ignored his freezing fingers, and entertained us with his guitar, Bauder Road for loaning all the sound equipment and Matt Clow for the set-up and running of the system.
