On November 16, Regis hosted their annual tree lighting ceremony and celebration, though without the beloved grand evergreen that served as Regis’ Christmas tree for over 30 years. A different evergreen was featured as this year’s Christmas tree, and star of the tree lighting ceremony. Gone, but not forgotten, the prior tree was honored in the speech preceding the lighting.
