Annual tree lighting set for Friday evening

MOSES LAKE — The Downtown Moses Lake Association will host the annual tree lighting downtown in Sinkiuse Square, located at 306 S. Ash St., from 4 to 6 p.m. The actual lighting of the tree is scheduled for 5:45 p.m. The Downtown Association’s new Executive Director Mallory Miller explained the basics of the tree lighting. “It's basically just an event to get families and kids downtown to kind of kick off the holiday season of holiday shopping and Christmas festivities, in a sense,” Miller said. “We have hot cocoa being handed out, and then we also have crafts for the kids to do. There's going to be a craft station put on by one of our sponsors.”
