Brooks Lights Christmas Tree And Kicks Off Holiday Concert Series

County Executive Maggie Brooks led a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the Atrium of the County Office Building and kicked off the 2008 Holiday Concert Series.

Holiday music in the County Office Building has become an annual tradition, with numerous school musical ensembles from across the community taking part each year.  The performances will be held at noon every Monday through December 22nd.  There will also be a special Wednesday concert on December 3rd.  Every concert will take place in the Atrium of the County Office Building, 39 W. Main Street.

The first concert of 2008 featured the Wheatland Chili High School Concert Band. The Band is comprised of 55 students and is directed by Steven Zimmerman.  This is the fourth year the Wheatland Chili High School Concert Band’s performance has coincided with the lighting of the County Christmas tree.
