KC Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting

I got some nice blog fodder when we went to our "spot" to read at Union Station. We saw the huge miniature train sets, and walked the Link, and went to Crown Center where there was a gingerbread house set up. Then we happened to stumble upon the Christmas Tree lighting celebration. They were about to light the mayor's Christmas Tree for KC MO in 30 minutes. So we stuck around. We sat right in front of the tree. First there was a really bad band playing, and then the KC Symphony Chorus sang too many songs. A few people said a few words. Some one gave us some candles and lit them. So finally, about an hour later, we counted down and the lights came on, and then there was a fireworks show.




Here's some pics from the KC Star:
