Hundreds of people gathered for the official switching on of the Narrabri Chamber of Commerce Christmas tree lights on Thursday night.
Maitland Street in front of the Post Office site for the tree was filled to hear carols performed by Mad About Music musicians led by Aaron Johnson, and three beautiful arrangements by the Harmony Inc. choristers.
Tim Baxter presented a Christmas message reflecting on the true spirit of Christmas. Storm clouds gathered, but the ceremony concluded just before the rain came down.
