PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- The Grand Lighting Ceremony for South Dakota’s Christmas at the Capitol display is Tuesday at 7pm CST.
This year’s display includes 92 trees decorated by volunteers from communities, schools, churches, nonprofit organizations and state government offices using the theme “Through a Child’s Eyes.” The featured tree in the Capitol, a 28 foot Colorado Blue Spruce, was donated by Deb Lutz of Mobridge and decorated by YMCA Youth Development of South Dakota.
Children are welcome to write letters to Santa at home and bring them to the Capitol. The letters can be deposited into Santa’s North Pole Mailbox, which will be located on the first floor by the First Ladies and First Gentlemen Exhibit.
The public is invited to join Gov. Kristi Noem, First Gentleman Bryon Noem and Pierre Mayor Steve Harding as they welcome guests and light the trees in the Capitol Rotunda in Pierre. Rhythm Prism and the Soul Singers, directed by Andrea Royer, will provide music for the ceremony. Santa will also be there to greet children of all ages.
The South Dakota Christmas at the Capitol Display is open to the public from Nov. 27-Dec. 26 from 8am-10pm daily, including holidays and weekends.
