Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter and First Lady Lori
Otter invite everyone to join them on the
evening of Monday, November 27, for a
celebration of the holiday season at the
ceremonial lighting of Idaho’s Capitol Christmas
Tree.
“The essence of family and community is
gathering together to express gratitude for our
blessings and hopes for overcoming our
challenges. Those expressions are even more
meaningful during the holidays,” Governor Otter
said. “Miss Lori and I are thankful for our
Idaho family, and for the community of friends
with whom we can share moments of joy and make
lasting Christmastime memories for young and
old.”
Brenda and Kevin Mee from Boise radio station
101.9 FM “The Bull” will serve as masters of
ceremonies for the evening on the front steps of
the Capitol.
The 25th Army Band will begin entertaining at 5
p.m. while guests enjoy complimentary hot
chocolate provided by Lucky Perk and Meadow
Gold, hot cider from Albertsons, and cookies
from the Wal-Mart Bakery.
The tree lighting ceremony will begin at 5:30
p.m. with the Governor, First Lady and Idaho’s
constitutional officers, as well as music by
Opera Idaho and the Andrus Ambassador Honor
Choir from Meridian’s Cecil D. Andrus Elementary
School, accompanied by keyboards from Dunkley
Music.
Guests are invited into the Capitol after the
Christmas tree is lit. Music will continue and
free books will be given to children,
compliments of the First Lady and Scholastic,
Inc.
Guests also are encouraged to visit the
Governor’s Ceremonial Office and the Capitol
Gift Shop, where Idaho’s 2017 State Christmas
ornament will be available, along with other
items crafted by Idaho artists. |
