Brown Deer rings in the holidays with tree lighting ceremony

BROWN DEER -- There was a special feel of anticipation in the air in Brown Deer on Saturday, December 5th.

Dozens of residents turned out for the village's first tree lighting ceremony in several years. It was made possible with the planting of a new pine tree near the fire station last Arbor Day.

Those who witnessed the tree lighting were invited to sample hot chocolate from Larry's Market, cookies from Walmart and listen to carolers from Brown Deer High School.
