Although I am a Chico native, I currently live in Alaska. Are there Downtown Chico merchants from whom I can order online?

I can appreciate the concept of using LED lights... but they really aren't bright enough for a community Christmas tree.

We agree, Lori...it is a Christmas tree! The name of the event reflects that it is the community coming together to light the tree. Santa will even be there to help! Hope to see you there.

I appreciate that, Downtown Chico, but you could still call it a Community CHRISTMAS tree. So many these days are trying to be politically correct, and it's getting disgusting. Even Enloe hospital calls their Christmas party, a 'holiday' party. They've done that the last few years, and it's sad. It's not as popular anymore, either. Moral of the story....keep 'CHRISTMAS' IN Christmas.
