Power Shortage Keeps City’s Holiday Tree Dark
- Share via
A power shortage has dimmed downtown’s holiday tree. Lighting an evergreen after Thanksgiving has long been a local tradition, but during the last lighting, organizers discovered that the tree had grown too tall and bushy for the supply of lights.
More are needed, but a nearby electrical outlet doesn’t have enough juice, said Keith Holtaway of the Downtown Assn.
The tree-lighting event has been canceled until a solution is found.
