As earlier reported by KMAN, the centerpiece of this year’s “Festival of Lights” is going up for the first time.
The crane began hoisting the 50 foot tree up Monday morning at Blue Earth Plaza, and the building of the tree has begun.
Blue Earth Plaza is located just outside the Flint Hills Discovery Center at 3rd and Colorado here in Manhattan.
A ceremony is planned Friday evening. Brad Everett and Wade Radina will tell us more about that ceremony on KMAN’s “In Focus” Friday morning.
