It's almost time to light Rutland up with holiday cheer.
The annual Rutland Light-Up is set to take place at Rutland Centennial Park on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 3-4:30 p.m., while the lighting of the 70-foot tree will take place at 4:15 p.m.

There are expected to be about 3,000 people in attendance at this year's event.
Mayor Tom Dyas and other Âé¶¹AV dignitaries will be lighting the tree.
