Members of the 133rd Washington Army National Guard Band from Camp Murray will perform inside the Lewis County Courthouse from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16.
There will be decorated holiday trees on the main floor and basement of the Lewis County Courthouse, according to a news release from the county.
Some county departments in the courthouse, the Law and Justice Center on Main Street and at the Lewis County Public Services building on Kresky Avenue in Chehalis will “display the spirit of the season,” according to the county.
“As many as seven members of the band are slated to play here,” said Lewis County Risk Management and Human Resources Director Amber Smith, who also plays as a guest in the band along with her husband, 133rd Staff Sgt. Brian Smith. “They’ll play a variety of holiday music, everything from Jingle Bells to the Huron Carol, and people can definitely sing along.”
Lewis County Community Development Director Lee Napier and Lewis County Public Works Director Josh Metcalf came up with the idea of the Tour of Lights in 2018.
“It’s something the public will really enjoy,” Napier added.
County office displays are judged and the best decorated receives the annual “Notable Nutcracker” award.
In 2021, the Nutcracker award went to Lewis County Public Health & Social Services.
