Posted/updated on: December 2, 2010 at 4:58 pm
TYLER — City of Tyler crews spent last week and the first part of this week decorating downtown with thousands of Christmas lights in time for the 25th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Now it’s almost here, with the lighting to be held on the T.B. Butler Fountain Plaza following the Jaycees Christmas Parade scheduled for 6:00 this evening. The centerpiece of the ceremony, a 29-foot Leyland Cypress donated by Jackie and Debbie Merket of Merket Christmas Tree Farm in Beckville, has been covered in more than 8,000 lights. The tree will be lit by 21-month-old Faith Wilson who was named the 2011 Miracle Child, representing the Children’s Miracle Network at Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics.
