Christmas Tree Lighting - Astoria
What’s Christmas without a tree? In the '60s, downtown Astoria was decorated by the city with cooperation from Pacific Power and always with a grand Christmas tree. But in 1966, the decorations went to auction, sold, and then were found 30 years later by Tim and Melba Obryant at a garage sale. They bought and restored them and have brought back a piece of Astoria Christmas history.
The Astoria Christmas Club was formed 23 years ago to spread the joy and happiness of the Christmas season and to bring the downtown alive with holiday spirit and is done with private donations.
Mr. Christmas (Tim) has done it again and found that Warrenton was discarding their 28-foot artificial tree, which he acquired and has rebuilt, restored and retrofitted with 4,000 7-color LED bulbs. The tree will be introduced with a lighting party.
