The event put on by the City of Spokane and Riverfront Park, will be held on Nov. 30 in Riverfront Park with Senske team members on hand distributing 3-D glasses that display fun holograms within the Christmas lights.

This is the third year that Senske Services of Spokane has donated the lighting for the enormous fir tree and it is quite the undertaking. According to Timm Turnbough, branch manager, installing the lights requires a 125-foot lift and takes about 32-man hours.
