COLUM N

initially chosen was too close to a power line. We hadn't seen the power line and now they are afraid to cut the tree down and risk getting electro- cuted, so for safety concerns, we are going with an alter- nate tree."
Oh wow, that was unex- pected. After Erik left the office, I received his text few hours later. "The tree is here," he wrote. I grabbed my camera and rushed outside to snap some photos.
The tree was lying on a large flatbed, and it took an army of workers to, first of all, cut the trunk down to size so it would fit into the man- hole, and then it was hoisted on a crane and carefully set in place. The entire process from when the tree was cut to when it was stood up was an all day job. I decided to live stream the entire event, and just happened to run into ABC 30 morning anchor, Tony Cabrera and his two kids, Co- zette and Anthony.
We chatted for a while, I snapped a pic of the kids and continued to watch the tree being positioned into place.
As I was live streaming I noticed some viewers mak-
The Friends of the Reed- ley Library sponsor this spe- cial book sale and they also have an on-going book sale inside the library.
The Friends thank all those who donate books. All sales benefit the Reedley Library, and it is the goal of the Friends of the Reedley Li- brary to have a larger library with meeting rooms.
The library is located at 1027 E Street, directly behind the Post Office.

ing comments about how small the tree was but they were staying positive. None- theless, saying that no matter what tree graces downtown Reedley, it's the thought that counts.
I attended the tree light- ing ceremony a few days later and everyone who at- tended the ceremony was ex- tremely pleased with the way it all turned out. So sometimes things don't go as planned, but we make the best of it and en- joy the holiday anyway. And thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this all happen.
Also this week, I spoke with Tom Fritz. Tom is the conductor for the Norman Zech Reedley College Orches- tra. They will be having a free Christmas concert on Monday, Dec. 3. Tom said they are re- ally excited about having ev- eryone come out and listen to the variety of talented musi- cians and singers they have.
Now that the holiday sea- son has officially kicked off, I want to wish everyone a won- derful season, make the most of the time with family, cher- ish all the memories you cre- ate, and remember sometimes things don't go as planned but whatever the case, there is al- ways something to be thank- ful for.
