West Memphis flipped the switch on the kick-off to the 2016 Christmas season with the annual tree lighting. Above: Park visitors streamed though the light displays at Worthington Park as the festive lights were gleamed for the first evening of 2016. A crowd of families numbering about 500 were on hand for the first glimpse of Christmas in the Wonder City. Below: Children surrounding Santa expressed jaw dropping astonishment as the Christmas lights flashed on Tuesday night. (See more tree lighting sights and scenes in tomorrow’s edition of the Times).
