The event will

kick off with performances by the Fayette Youth Chorale, directed by Millie

Turek, and the newly formed Southern Crescent Chorale, directed by Janice

Folsom. Featured soloist for Southern Crescent is Casey Huggins.

Fayetteville

Mayor Ken Steele will serve as master of ceremonies.

This year's

honored guest performing the actual "lighting" of the tree will

be Fayette County High student Justin Holloway. Nearly one year ago Dec.

14, 2001 Justin was involved in an automobile accident which left him

with grievous injuries. He has made tremendous strides but is still undergoing

a series of operations.

Coffee, hot

chocolate and funnel cakes will be available to help warm you up during

the ceremony. The fun will continue even after the tree is lit, with Santa

providing free carriage rides until 9 p.m. Photo packages will also be

available for purchase.
