The nasty weather on Saturday, December 2 did not put a damper on the annual Hales Corners Tree Lighting Ceremony. An estimated 200 people showed up for the ceremony which is held at the library.
The lighting of the tree was accompanied by the Whitnall Middle School Band. Following the tree lighting, onlookers huddled indoors for hot cocoa, cookies, a visit with Santa, and a story time with Ms. Susie.
The cocoa and home baked cookies were delicious and Santa was as jolly as ever as he entertained the children and listened to their Christmas wish lists.
Ms. Susie captivated the audience with her creative story telling. She used both poster board and Microsoft Power Point to share her cozy winter tales.
This year's ceremony was a success and promises to continue in this way for years to come!
