A worker is pictured Monday morning stringing lights on the city’s 40-foot blue spruce donated by Lindsay DeLong and her family from their Prospect Street home. Members of the city Parks, Recreation and Conservation department were set to decorate the tree, covered with plenty of snow from the weekend, with more than 3,000 LED lights. The ceremonial lighting of the Christmas Tree will be held during the Christmas Parade this Saturday.
