Staff and volunteers for the City of Sequim and the City Arts Advisory Commission lit up the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St., on Dec. 2 for the annual “Holiday Tree Lighting” reception.

Mayor Dennis Smith (pictured at right) performed the honor of switching on the tree that’s decorated with ornaments created by local fourth-grade students with the theme of “What Sequim Means to Me.”

Performers with Sequim Ballet performed a preview of their performance of “The Nutcracker” that runs Dec. 16-18 at Olympic Theatre Arts.
