I Santa, live reindeer, hot cocoa and plenty of glitz greet- ed revelers at Tom Hughes Civic Center Plaza for Holly Days, the annual community celebration that rings in the holidays. Leading up to the tree light- ing ceremony after dark were opportunities to shop and visit with local artists during a spe- cial winter marketplace. Children and adults took in all the sights and sounds of the season, including choral music, train rides, crafts and an inter- active laser light show — called “Symphony of Light” by Pat- rick Coan — that threw a bright palette of moving color onto the round stairway of the Civic Center plaza. That sight and sound extrav- aganza happened right after the holiday tree was lighted for all to see.
