Around the Tree * Photos provided/Deb Shively, Wakarusa Chamber On a chilly but cheery evening, residents and friends of Wakarusa gathered around the downtown Christmas for a night of caroling, cookies, and cocoa. Monday, Dec. 12 marked the annual occasion of "Christmas Around the Tree," and while the weather conditions were a little less than ideal, it did not stop the crowds from joining in the festivities. According to Chamber of Commerce representatives, nearly all of the refreshments were consumed by the folks who stopped by for a bit of holiday camaraderie. LEFT: Members of Wakarusa Elementary's show choir, "Younger Generation," perform for the onlookers during "Christmas Around the Tree" activities.
