Tree lighting signals
start of holiday
ing season

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER
It wasn't a partridge in a pear tree, but rather
some new lighting, that Plymouth officials used
Thursday to mark the 50 Days of (or Until)
Christmas.
"This is kind of the kickoff to the holiday
shopping in downtown Plymouth," said Mayor
Phil Pursell before throwing a ceremonial
switch on Main Street Thursday afternoon.
As he did so, lights in the eight pear trees in
the median between Penniman and Ann Arbor
Trail blinked on. The new lights, wrapped
onto the trees' trunks and main branches,
were recently purchased by the Downtown
Development Authority.
Pursell, who leaves office this week — he
did not seek re-election to the Plymouth City
Commission — also made a pitch for supporting
Plymouth businesses during the holiday season.
"Shop local. The town you save might be your
own," he said.
Teresa Moriarty is
volunteer coordinator for
the Salvation Army and
she's recruiting bell ringers
for the kettle campaign.
The new lights illuminate
the trees on the
boulevard.
A few people braved the cold to watch the ceremony.
The Salvation Army's Plymouth Corps
had a canteen truck on hand, dispensing free
hot chocolate, coffee and cookies. It was also
the unofficial start of the Salvation Army's
Red Kettle campaign, which officially begins
this week.
"We truly just wanted to come out and
say 'thank you,'" said the Salvation Army's
Laurie Aren.
The new pear-tree lights, because of the

way they were installed, are expected to be
more durable that the ones they replaced.
The DDA paid Zone 5 Landscaping of
Plymouth $1,825 for the lights, the installation,
maintenance of the lights through
January, and the takedown of the lights early
next year, if officials decide to have them
taken down.
Early next year, the DDA plans to install,

through Old Village Landscaping, two permanent
"well lights" at the base of each tree
that will highlight the trees at night.
The well lights, for about $2,200, will
replace the strings of tiny lights that had
been in the branches year-round for several
years, Buzuvis said.
