Correction:

A story printed in Wednesday’s Pickens Sentinel and Easley Progress stated that a Christmas tree lighting would take place on Dec. 1 with appearances from A.R. Lewis students and Pickens County Superintendent Kelly Pew. That is a separate event that will take place on Nov. 27 at 5:30 p.m. at Blue Ridge Electric in Pickens. We regret this error.

PICKENS—A full schedule of holiday events are on tap for the month of December in the City of Pickens, beginning with the annual Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 1.
