The annual Christmas tree lighting celebration in Hood River County will be done in a virtual manner this year. Chamber interim director Ashley Huckaby May says the lighting at Overlook Memorial Park will take place on Friday, December 4 at 7 p.m., but people are encouraged to watch from home. May said there will be Facebook event page and a link on hoodriver.org. She adds a mailbox for Santa will be next to the tree for kids to drop their letters to Santa during the holiday season. The traditional holiday parade down Oak Street will not happen, but May says the Chamber is working with local fire departments to hook into their annual lighted fire truck parades around the County. Those schedules will be announced later.
