Sierra Nevada College is joining the community in celebrating the holidays, Incline-style. Along with other community holiday events taking place the first week in December, add to the list one more: SNC’s Inaugural Tree Lighting on Friday, Dec. 5. The family-friendly festivities begin at 4 p.m. in the Patterson Hall area and will feature Incline Village’s very own Santa (parents, bring your cameras for picture-taking — Santa will be visiting for about an hour at 4:30 p.m.), a special “Santa’s Mailbox” for letters, handcrafted ornaments made by SNC’s international students, cookie decorating, a gingerbread house contest among the SNC students, caroling, various craft activities, refreshments and, at 5:30 p.m., lighting of the tree. Santa will be leading the procession over to the tree on a custom mountain bike-moped, courtesy of Dr. Paul Guttman, as part of the “Santa Goes Green” campaign, a Parasol Community Collaboration between the Santa Claus Foundation, Space Science for Schools, and the UNR Cooperative Extension. The tree’s lights are also green (LED), and, thanks to friend of the college Ben Solomon, are powered by a car battery and supplemented by solar panels. This event is free and open to the public. Afterward, families are encouraged to stay for dinner at SNC in Patterson Hall; the all-you-can-eat affair is $8 for adults and $6 for children under age 10 — the best deal in town! For information, please contact Director of Special Events Debi Noonan at (775) 881-7420 or dnoonan@sierranevada.edu.
