there were still lights up on the cedars on each
side of the mile long highway. Residents have gathered once
again to start on the work to bring back the tradition.
The president of the Christmas Tree Lane Association says some
of the lines will burned, but not many in terms
of fire damage. There had been some safety concerns whether
(04:04):
or not the lights would go back up. Others wondered
if it was too soon, but one of the locals said,
it's been an overwhelming amount of support that people want
the lights on. They want one of the last things
that Altaden is known for that didn't burn down, So
we want to keep the tradition going. The tree lighting
ceremony is scheduled to take place December sixth. They will
include a special ceremony memorializing what was lost in the fires.
