We always look forward to the tree lighting in Lake Nebagamon. What makes it so special is in addition to the tree lighting, there are so many other things that go along with it.

We always have our share of music and entertainment, single artists as well as a chorus, which always puts people in a festive mood. The children can make ornaments for free, and then take them home to place on their own tree. We all have a sweet tooth and local residents will spend this entire week baking cookies, fruitcake, breads, pies, and even homemade candy!

"The Night Before Christmas" is read to the children, while they they wait for Santa to make his yearly appearance, and  coffee, cocoa, and pastries are served as adults peruse the selection of homemade quilts and crafts.

It's one of my favorite times of the year as the whole village turns out for this event. Your welcome to join us for some old fashioned small town celebrating..
