The Daily News Miner has a nice article about preparations for the holidays at Fr. Wainwright.

FAIRBANKS — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Fort Wainwright.

Almost 800 members of the Fort Wainwright community showed up at the Physical Fitness Center on Friday night for the 16th annual Christmas tree lighting.

With the 9th Army Band playing “O Christmas Tree” in the background and with the assistance of a countdown from the crowd, 5-year-old Timberly Kneebone officially rang in the start of the holiday season by flipping the big red switch that lights the 24-foot-tall tree.
