The City of Early Beautification Commission invites the community to join them as they light up Early with their annual Lighting of the Christmas Tree festival on Tuesday, November 29th at the intersection of Early Blvd and Garmon Drive.

Hot chocolate and cookies provided by United Supermarkets will be served.  Santa Clause will be brought in by the Early Volunteer Fire Department and will be passing out candy and posing for pictures.

A new addition to the Beautification Commission Christmas Lights will be lights and decorations at Early Blvd and 183 N intersections. All of this is made possible by the $1 donation that Early resident’s pay on their monthly water bill each month.
