Monday, December 3, was the Roanoke County Tree Lighting at the South County Library. We have photos by Loren Wright, which you can see in the slideshow or in a different view here. Here is more from Loren about the event:

The Master of ceremonies was Richard C. Flora, with a holiday welcome by Diana L. Rosapepe. The Penn Forest Elementary School “ASK” children sang some carols, then the tree was lit. Through the parking lot in a fire truck was Santa! There were also children’s activities, and fun for the whole family. It was a beautiful warm night and very enjoyable.
