It took about thirteen extra seconds, but at the end of a rousing countdown Midtown got its own Christmas Tree.
Here is the video of the countdown.
Tonight the Midtown Business Association, The City of Sacramento, and California State Parks all helped light up the beautiful Christmas tree at Sutter's Fort on the corner of 26th and K streets.
Vice Mayor Steve Cohn, California state assemblymember Dave Jones, and Mayor Kevin Johnson all had kind words for the crowd.
There was plenty of cheer in the crowd. Sometimes living in Midtown it feels like there are no families or kids in the nighborhood, but at this event families and children were front and center. The kids running around playing and festive atmosphere warmed my heart and the tree was beautiful.
J street will also be lit up for the holiday season. To read more visit the Midtown Business Association myspace page.

I love the lighting of the Christmas trees! I'm glad you went so you could post pictures. Do you know if they've already lit the tree at the Capitol? I went to that last year and it was wonderful. I don't want to miss it this year!
