A large crowd gathered on West Main Street on Tuesday night to officially welcome the holiday season. Washington Mayor Mac Hodges presided over the lighting of the downtown trees, each decorated with lights. Inside the Turnage Theatre, cookies were offered, along with a performance by the River City Ringers handbell choir. All the festivities were followed by a screening of “Home Alone” at the historic downtown theater.
