The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at St. Thomas City Hall drew visitors to downtown to see the more than 7,000 lights glow for the first time this year, and to enjoy a hot beverage, music and visit with Santa. The Friday evening event, sponsored by the Downtown Development Board, is a traditional warm-up for the Optimist Santa Claus Parade on Saturday.
