The Semmes tree was lit following a countdown by the community at the tree lighting event on November 23rd. There was holiday entertainment, visits with Santa, and even a Christmas Carnival. The Community shopped all day from the over 60 vendors in the Christmas Market. It was a wonderful Hallmark event.

The Water Feature/ Splash Addition at Viking Park behind the Community Center will be well loved by the Community next season. The night light features and water sprayers were completed in October. The water comes out at different time intervals making it exciting play. Since it's the off season for this amenity, the City has decided to go a step further and make it wheelchair/ handicapped accessible. The accessibility structures, shade, and benches will be added over the next few months.
