Braving cold temperatures and blowing snow that November 21 brought to Saugeen Shores, GC Huston Public School's Grade 1 and Senior Kindergarten classes marched their way to the Southampton Christmas tree outside Southampton's Art Centre and Town Hall to adorn it with Christmas decorations.

Each student had decorated their own snowman and, ornaments in hand, surrounded the tree and hung the unique works of art on the lower branches, all in preparation for the annual tree lighting ceremony which will take place Thursday, November 22 at 6:30 p.m.

The tree lighting will coincide with Southampton Sparkles where great deals can be found at Southampton stores and shoppers can get a head start on their Christmas shopping.
