Good Sam. Invites Community to Tree Lighting - KHGI-TV/KWNB-TV/KHGI-CD-Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings

Kearney—Good Samaritan will continue a community tradition that began last year.

The hospital is celebrating the Advent season with a tree lighting ceremony for the community at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 27 in the hospital's main lobby.

The hospital will light its 15-foot Christmas tree for the first time this season during a brief ceremony that will include carols. The ceremony will be followed with refreshments in the hospital's new dining room.

When the tradition of decorating Christmas trees began in the 16^th century, candles were used to illuminate the handmade trinkets that adorned the trees' branches. Today, our trees are decorated with lights, ornaments, tinsel, maybe a candy cane or two.

Good Samaritan invites everyone to come out and get into the holiday spirit with them!
