The city of Baldwin late Thursday announced it has postponed its annual Christmas tree lighting due to the threat of inclement weather. The event, which was originally scheduled to take place on Friday, is now scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 4, at Mitchell Gailey Park.
“This was intended to be rain or shine, but Santa’s Reindeer had other plans,” says Baldwin’s Chief Administrative Officer Emily Woodmaster.

The tree lighting is the highlight of an evening full of events. The Baldwin Elementary Chorus will provide music. There will be a station set up where visitors may write letters to Santa and write Christmas cards to local nursing home residents. There will also be cookies and a hot chocolate bar and Polaroids with Santa.
All events are free, thanks to the generosity of sponsors, Woodmaster says.
Mitchell Gailey Park is located beside the Baldwin Fire Department at 155 Willingham Avenue in Baldwin.
