What an exciting night some of us enjoyed at Laurens’s First Annual Christmas Tree Lighting! We loved Mayor John Stankus’s speech, and the free trolley ride made our night as we passengers were directed in singing Christmas carols and hymns as we traveled around town. The free chocolate and cookies were delicious, and it was fun to visit the new museum site and do some of our Christmas shopping in the downtown stores that were open for the evening. Nothing compares to small town life!
