The third annual Grand Illumination Tree Lighting Ceremony officially jumpstarted the Christmas season in Stuart on Dec. 6.
The crowd gathered for the event participated in a group rendition of Jingle Bells, as merriment and laughter filled the air.
The Patrick County Alzheimer’s Group sold love lights in honor or in memory of a loved one. Those lights helped brighten the tree that is located in front of the Patrick County Courthouse on Main Street.
