Santa & Mrs. Claus
Above, Members of the Okanagan International Choir braved the rain last Saturday evening while they led people in singing Christmas carols at the annual Oroville Community Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

The Christmas Tree Lighting was sponsored by the Oroville Chamber of Commerce and there were free hot dogs and cups of hot cocoa for those that wanted to ring in the holidays at Centennial Park.
