Silver & Snowflakes Holiday Tree Lighting will be on Thursday December 3, 2009 from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Festivities begin on the Capitol grounds. The State trees will be lit, Santa will give out candy canes, and the 300 voices of the Carson City 5th Grade Music Students Singing Ensemble and the Carson Middle School Advanced Handbell Choir will contribute the music. A warm feeling envelops the Capitol as families gather to hear children sing and to watch the tree and all of Carson Street spring to light. The young and young at heart all squeal with delight as Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive in a beautiful Victorian vis-à-vis horse-drawn carriage from Hoofbeats N Carriages. (Note: Vis-à-vis literally means face to face; the passengers ride facing each other.)
