Last year was the first year for the White Center community Christmas tree to be lit. The 2nd annual event is set for Dec. 11 at 5 pm.
The 2nd Annual White Center tree lighting celebration is set for Sunday, Dec. 11 at 5pm.
To get things organized for the event a meeting is being held on Tuesday Dec. 6 from 6 pm to 7pm at Uncle Mikes BBQ at 9640A 16th Ave s.w.
The tree, located in Triangle Park adjacent to Mac's Triangle Pub at the intersection of Roxbury, Delridge and 16th Ave. s.w. streets will be lit in an atmosphere of music and celebration. Getting the tree ready means showing up to decorate it and that will happen Dec. 9 in the 10 am hour.
As the West Seattle Herald reported last year, it took five years to get the area electricity and to make the tree lighting event part of the community.
Preceding the tree lighting by one day is an "Ugly Sweater Party" at Company bar and restaurant Saturday Dec. 10 at 7pm. If you have the world's ugliest Christmas sweater, this is the time to get it out of storage and wear it to this party.
The organizers of the tree lighting event are seeking artists, a tree topper and art for tree decoration.
Musicians, singers, choirs are needed for the celebration too.

Now being planned in the district is a challenge among the merchants to see who can come up with the best Door Decoration. Details on that will be worked out in the meeting on Dec. 6. The deadline for entries is Dec. 23.
This is a community effort by the families and friends of W.C., W.C. Merchants Alliance, B.O.S.S., Chamber of Commerce***
