Capitol Christmas Tree Visits Port Angeles

The tree arrived in Port Angeles on Tuesday, November 7th and will was greeted by the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councilmembers Braun and Petersen.

The Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce organized this visit that featured choirs from Roosevelt Middle School and Jefferson Elementary School. Several other classes from Jefferson attend the event. Mayor Rogers presented a proclamation recognizing the event and welcoming in the Holiday Season.


Because of the very rainy weather, the event was held inside the Vern Burton Memorial Community Center. Over 300 school children and approximately 200 citizens welcomed the tree and celebrated the Olympic National Forest as being chosen to provide this year's tree. (More Photos)
