Ontario Christmas Tree Lighting set for Nov. 29

ONTARIO — On Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. the Ontario Growth Association and Ontario Youth Sports will offer the 2016 Ontario Christmas tree lighting.

OGA President, David Yaney and Ontario Youth Sports Director, Kenn Spencer, have been working with the City of Ontario to make this year’s event better than ever.

“We are excited to have the Christmas tree lighting in Marshall Park for the first time, and we invite the citizens of Ontario to help kick off the Holiday Season” said Mayor Randy Hutchinson.

Spencer says working with the OGA has been a good partnership.

“David has been doing this event for a few years and working with him and the OGA, I think we have been able to make something really special for our community.”
