Holiday Lights: SB tree, Rossmoor contest
Chamber of Commerce President Seth Eaker writes to say that Seal Beach’s second annual tree-lighting event was “a resounding success.” More than 250 people gathered on Friday evening to enjoy hot chocolate, cookies and community. Local businesses donated food, trees and other holiday displays and Santa arrived via firetruck. The tree can be seen throughout the season at Eisenhower Park. It is lit with environmentally-friendly LED lights, he said.
Update, Nov. 30: See a nice gallery of tree-lighting photos at Duane Uyeda’s photographicontent.com.
The Rossmoor Homeowners Association has announced the opening of its annual holiday lights contest. Rossmoor residents can enter their decorated homes in the competition through December 12. Entry is free. Judges will visit the entries on December 13. Cash prizes are awarded to “stand out” homes, said event organizer Chris Marshall. Pictures and a map of winning homes will be posted at the homeowners association website. Click here to see last year’s winners.
