December 5, 2008

Tonight is the official beginning of Christmas season! I was excited and honored to attend the Malmstrom Air Force Base tree lighting event. I had a ball riding into the event on a fire truck with Santa Claus! Upon arriving at the ceremony I had the pleasure of meeting the base commander, Col. Mike Fortney.

After the tree was lit I quickly rushed off to the Great Falls Christmas Stroll. Downtown Great Falls was decorated beautifully for the event! The smell of holiday treats filled the air, holiday lights lit the sky, and everything looked so magical! I, along with the Red Raja dancers, celebrated the holidays by performing to seasonal music. Red and gold poinsettias adorned my hair and hung from my belt as I presented a improvisational drum solo. This event was extra special because we had our very own live drummer, the talented Mr. James Hayes!
