On Tuesday, Nov. 14, North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick and Tom Brannon of KTHV Ch. 11, kicked off the holiday season with the ceremonial lighting of the 38-foot Christmas tree at Argenta Plaza in North Little Rock. A girl scouts troupe sang Christmas carols and collected canned food and toiletries for local charities with the Kiwanis Club. Children pushed “the button” to turn on the tree, and all were pleasantly surprised when it magically began to snow as well.
