Bright lights and music filled the Rotunda of the Legislative Building as hundreds of people took part in the annual holiday celebration. The Association of Washington Business and the Capitol Campus Volunteers sponsored the event. Every year hundreds of volunteers devote their time and energy to pull off this huge endeavor. They should be commended for the success of this ceremony.
Words can never express the countless smiles they put on people's faces.
The Gospel Outreach School Choir and Synthesizer Orchestra from Olympia provided the holiday music. The noble fir from the Vail Tree Farm in Onalaska was donated by the Weyerhaeuser Company. Staff from Michaels Arts and Crafts donated their time and talent to decorate the tree. The tree is adorned with toys and gifts, which will be donated to children throughout the state after the holidays.
