CAMP HUMPHREYS – As the lights at the Community Tree Lighting and Christmas Tree Lane were turned on, Nov. 30, the holiday season officially began here.
The event, hosted by Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, took place at Transformation Park. The event was kicked off by remarks from Brig. Gen. Darryl Williams, the 2nd Infantry Division’s deputy commanding general for support and Col. Darin S. Conkright, the Humphreys Garrison commander.
Following the welcoming remarks, a holiday invocation was read and Christmas carols were sung by the Humphreys American School Choir. Following the performance, Santa Claus appeared on top of a fire truck and children yelled out a cheer to him.
“I like the lights of the Christmas tree,” said Daltry Edwards, age three. “I want to go to top of the fire truck so I can be with Santa Claus.”
But children were not the only ones happy. Parents were happy, too. Captain Jeremy Larson, of Bravo Company, 602nd Aviation Support Battalion, who participated in the event with his daughter, said “I enjoy this event. My kid loves to see these lights and all kinds of decorations.”
After Santa Claus and the participants spent a little time at Transformation Park, Santa Claus led the crowd to the Super Gym, where the Holiday Social and Humphreys Holiday Bazaar took place.
Upon arrival at the Super Gym, there was a ribbon cutting to officially open the events. The Super Gym’s lobby was full of people, excited about the upcoming holiday season. The Holiday Social featured free goodies, the 2nd Infantry Division Band, the HAS Choir and members of the Camp Humphreys Community Theatre group performing an excerpt of their upcoming production of “A Christmas Carol.”
“I have two daughters who are in the play,” said Capt. David Blackwell, assigned to Headquarter and Headquarter Company, U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys and the Provost Marshall’s Office. “I like my daughters’ acting and how the people reacting. I’m very proud of my daughters.”
