No fewer than three different grinches made mischief at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting sponsored by the Seven Lakes Business Guild on Monday, December 12. The event had been postponed due to the disruption of the destruction of two substations by gunfire the week prior. That event only made the lights at the Seven Lakes Business Center appear to shine all the brighter. Local Businesses provided refreshment and entertainment for all who came to the event. And Santa made a special visit, arriving by firetruck.
