Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital is welcoming residents and families to listen to christmas carols, meet Santa Claus and enjoy festive treats as it kicks off the holiday season by lighting its tree on the corner of Oak Street and Winter Avenue; Monday, November 28^th.

Sarah Neubecker of Spectrum says this event is always special for them and fun for those attending.

"it's a great event to kick off the holiday season it's right after Thanksgiving and it's another way to honor those who have given back to the community."

This year, Dr. DesNoyer will be honored for her extensive medical career of delivering babies in the Big Rapids community.                                        

The ceremony will start at 6pm.
