FD Christmas Tree Lighting

Santa arrived by fire truck to downtown Fort Dodge where the crowd had gathered to greet him and see the annual tree lighting. Then the crowd walked to the Trolley Center to visit with the jolly old man, decorate cookies, listen to stories, write letters to Santa, make pinecone ornaments, and listen to the sounds of the season from the Harmony Brigade chorus and members of the Fort Dodge Senior High acapella choir.
