On Nov. 29, the city of North Augusta celebrated the season with its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Calhoun Park.
With the help of Jenafer McCauley, Ethan McCauley, 8, Ryan and Madison McCauley, both 4, and Santa Claus, North Augusta Mayor Briton Williams flipped the switch to light the night.
A combined band featuring students from North Augusta and Paul Knox Middle Schools brought the sounds of the season.
After the event, North Augusta businesses sponsored a cocoa and cookie crawl.
The next holiday event will be the North Augusta Christmas Parade at 3 p.m., Dec. 11.
Grand Marshals will be Larry and Holly Anderson of Bush Flowers on Pine Grove. This year, the family-owned Bush Flower Shop celebrates 100 years in business, according to a news release. This year’s theme is Christmas in July.
Trophies for first, second, and third place winners in commercial and non-commercial categories will be announced immediately following the parade and awarded at the Lions Club meeting at 6 p.m. Dec. 13.
