North Hills Christmas Tree Lighting Video and Pictures

Written on December 2, 2008 – 11:20 am -

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. From what I’ve heard the Christmas Tree Lighting at North Hills on Nov. 22 was a great event. I stopped by before everything got started but I couldn’t stay for the entire thing. Based on what I saw, it looked like Kane Realty really went all out for this event with:

  • carolers
  • horse and carriage rides
  • rickshaw rides
  • trolley rides
  • real snow from snow blowers on top of a few buildings

Here are a few pictures I took before the main tree was lit. The sky happened to look really nice in a few of these pictures. Click the thumbnails for larger versions.





I also found a great video on YouTube that shows everything that went on.

If you made it out to the tree lighting, what did you think of the event?
