KHTS AM-1220, which has its studio just down the block on Main Street from where the tree-lighting took place, put together a 3D video tour of the event you can view below.
Santa and Mrs. Claus also made an appearance for photos, and food trucks offered some meal as Mobile Illumination lit up the 23-foot tall yuletide centerpiece.
Every year, the event welcomes thousands to Main Street to watch the first lighting of the holiday season.
The city spends about $95,000 each year with MI, as part of a three-year contract first approved in 2013.
The budget includes:
7,100 warm white 5mm LEDs
47 Sycamore trees wrapped with warm white lights
“loosely wrap” main trunks of 32 Mesquite and Oak trees
Overhead Skyline with 30ft wide “Season’s Greetings” sign hung
One snippet of the contract that comprises about $18,000 worth of work is the second
skyline,” which includes a 30-foot long Santa, Sleigh and 3 Deer set along the top of a 16.5 foot trussing, lit with spotlights and illuminated red reins connecting the sleigh and deer. A snow-blanketed batting covers the entire trussing, illuminated from inside on the vertical and horizontal portions.
