U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Celebration
The Inter-Mountain photos by Brad Johnson
The 2023 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree arrives at the Elkins Depot Saturday evening just in time for a community celebration that drew hundreds to the Town Square.
The Elkins High School, Tygarts Valley High School and Elkins Middle School marching bands joined together to lead the tree from the parade’s starting point next to the Jennings Randolph Federal Building, all the way to the Elkins Train Depot Saturday.
Shawnee Tribe representative Erin Paden, tribal historic preservation specialist with the Shawnee Tribal Government, speaks to the crowd Saturday night.
Forest Supervisor Shawn Cochran of the Monongahela National Forest speaks during Saturday’s event. The tree was harvested from the Monongahela National Forest in Randolph County on Nov. 1.
