The King George County Christmas Tree was lit on Sunday evening as a small crowd of families watched. While food was offered for sale by the Lions Club, the kids activities were more popular. In between sitting by the small fires, tended by former Supervisor Jim Howard, to stay warm and creating Christmas cards, the kids lined up with their parents to have their picture taken with Santa Claus.
Several local dignitaries were present for the event including Sheriff Dempsey, County Administrator Dr. Neiman Young, and Supervisor Jeff Bueche. Even though the misty rain that fell and the chill air was outside of his control, the new Parks and Recreation Director Chris Clarke did a great job keeping things running smoothly. As the tree lighting grew nearer, Mr. Daniels, the King George High School Band Director, arrived with a few of his students to perform holiday songs live.
