O Christmas Tree!

When I was younger the lighting of the city tree was often something I looked forward too. Many years we would make ornaments at home or at school to put on the city tree. Every year that I can remember, until about 4 or 5 years ago, the tree stood in the middle of "town square"...well, it's really just the intersection of Main Street and Diggles Street. That's right, in the middle of the road, you had to be careful driving around it. I myself have no memories of anyone hitting the tree, but my sisters tell me it happened.

A few years ago they moved the tree to the parking lot of the Drug Store, but it only stayed there for a year. Now the tree gets set up in the parking lot between the Firehouse and The Outback.

It's not the same, but you can see it when you drive into town now.

My California!
