Sarah Hurt, City of Sequim arts coordinator, lights up the Civic Center Holiday Tree at the annual lighting ceremony and open house on Dec. 1. The tree is decorated with ornaments created by local fourth grade/9-year-old students; the theme for this year’s ornaments was “What Brings You Joy?” Mayor Tom Ferrell read aloud short messages from local students based on the theme, and Tom Schindler and fellow musicians provided holiday-themed music.
