Dexter Patch: Dexter to bring in Christmas season with annual tree lighting

The event will last from 10 a.m. to dusk and the actual lighting of the tree will take place at 5:30 p.m. There also will be caroling at this time.

The tree lighting takes place as part of the all-day Winter Festival sponsored by the Dexter Area Chamber of Commerce.

According to the Patch report, there will be several activities throughout the day held at local businesses such as a coloring contest at Aubree's Pizzeria & Grill, stories at Dexter Pub and a Santa available for visits from noon to 3 p.m. in the park's gazebo.
