The Annual La Crescenta Christmas Tree Lighting occurred on Dec. 3 at the La Crescenta Library, 2809 Foothill Blvd. It started with Richard Woloski’s puppet show in the library’s community room followed by hot chocolate served by library staff and Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger. The event then moved outside with performances that included the Valley View Elementary choir and the Crescenta Valley High School Charismatics. The Friends of the Library gave out goodie bags as well.
