MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The city of Milwaukee held its annual tree-lighting ceremony last month, and now the county is joining in the holiday fun.
The lighting ceremony was inside the Milwaukee County Courthouse. This year's tree is locally sourced, and all 375 ornaments on it were made by students from Milwaukee Public Schools.
Others were put together by kids visiting the Milwaukee County Zoo recently.
"I'm really excited about being able to get a tree locally sourced, within our geographical area in Grafton," said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. "And working with young people going to their schools, going to the zoo, coloring with them, and you'll see all the ornaments they have made decorating the tree."
Crowley told the crowd at the ceremony he hopes we can all embrace the new year with an open heart.
