Saturday, April 11th, 2009Community Tree Ceremony Lights Up City Plaza
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Christmas in Chico wouldn’t be the same without a tree all lit up in the plaza. The annual lighting of the community tree on Chico’s City Plaza will be held Dec. 5 beginning at 5 p.m. The event includes a short address by the Mayor Andy Holcombe, and the lights go on around 6 p.m. If your kids are not big fans of mayoral speeches, I’m sure Mr. Holcombe won’t mind if you show up just for the tree lighting. But older kids should enjoy performances by the Children’s Choir of Chico, Sound of the Foothills and the Yule Logs.

We’re really looking forward to Chico’s annual Independence Day shindig at One Mile in Bidwell Park. Last year Alec got a rad Blue’s Clue’s tattoo and I think there was a snowcone involved. The pancake breakfast is from 7:30-11 a.m.; the 5k run starts at 8am; the horseshoe contest is from 9 a.m.-noon; the Chico Community Concert Band plays from 9-10:35 a.m.; the “Let Freedom Ring” speech is from 10:45-11:30 a.m.; the pie eating contest is from 12:15-12:45 p.m.; games are from 1-2 p.m. and the Midnight Blues Society is from 1-3 p.m. There are also food booths, activities and crafts from 10am-3pm. Much credit goes to CARD and Do-It Leisure. See you there!
