So it's that time of year again...the holiday season. With that comes the annual ligthting of West Branch. Or the drama of the lighting of West Branch. There is always a big to do about how early to hang the lights, locating the lights, getting light bulbs, oh and the big tree in the center of town.
Tonight I helped dad finish hanging the snowflake lights on Parkside Dr and hanging the banners as well. We also started with the lighting of the big tree in the center of town. Oh how this tree is a headache every year. IT is about 50 feet tall, so it is getting harder to decorate with regular lights, as it is growing out of reach of the bucket truck. One year dad and I put rope lights on the tree and by the response from the town you would have thought WWIII broke out, needess to say they did not like it. This year we need ideas. One idea was to light the tree with flood lights, alternating red and green around the base. We played with that idea tonight and it just wasn't working. Ahh so much fun!!!
Halen joined in on the decorating fun too, Kona got to stay and creat havoc in the shop.
We still have more lights to hang in the downtown area and on the main streets in and out of town. Hope it warms up a little, it sure gets cold out there. At least they started playing the holiday music in September, so we have some music to hang lights by.
