Christmas lights shine Dec. 5 on the Community Christmas Tee at Town Square. Havre Area Chamber of Commerce held the annual tree-lighting ceremony on Facebook live due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ever-present in the lives of people in Montana, the country, and around the world is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected nearly every aspect of life including the holiday season, which has seen local events cancelled or changed for the sake of public safety. Some events adapted to meet safety restrictions and still had success, with some still to come.
