Last year (I think?) you did a story on a couple that asked about putting ornaments on the tree, having folks bring one to add. I left a comment on the WS Junction post to see about it, but didn’t hear back. Just wondering, I thought it was a fun idea….

Any sense on the time of the actual tree lighting? Thanks.

Hi – it’s toward the very end of the event, probably after 5:15 pm, but in years past things have gone longer, shorter, much shorter …
