PHOENIX – Governor Jan Brewer yesterday
participated in the 2012 Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in the Executive Tower
lobby at the Arizona State Capitol.
On display is a 20-foot White Fir from the Tonto National Forest. This is the
second consecutive year in which the Governor has celebrated Christmas with a
LIVE Christmas tree in the Capitol lobby.
The tree is decorated with 2,240 LED lights and 220 hand-designed ornaments. In
commemoration of Arizona’s centennial holidays, the Christmas Tree is adorned
with ornaments that were decorated by children from Centennial Elementary School
(Gilbert), Centennial Elementary School (Tucson), Yuma Centennial Middle School
(Yuma) and Centennial High School (Peoria). A youth choir from John F. Long
Elementary School, in Phoenix, joined Governor Brewer for today’s tree-lighting
ceremony.
Lastly, hanging from the Executive
Tower lobby are 15 Christmas wreaths – decorated with unique ornaments designed
and donated by each of Arizona’s 15
counties.
Governor Brewer wishes to thank
Crown Import, Southwest Ornaments, the County Supervisors’ Association, the
“Centennial schools” and everyone else who had a hand in making this year’s
Capitol Christmas display possible.
