At 5:45 p.m., the mayor and trustees will lend St. Nick a hand as they light the downtown Christmas tree.
The official flier says the event starts at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7, but we recommend getting there a few minutes early to negotiate the crowds and find a good spot where the kids can watch Santa pull up on his PCFD wheels.
