CLAWSON — The city of Clawson kicked off the holiday season with its annual lighting of the tree at Memorial Park on Dec. 3.

Despite the cold weather, approximately 200 people attended the lighting, according to Alec Speshock, executive director of the Clawson Chamber of Commerce.

“It was a great night. Obviously, we had the fun of snow and the chilling temperatures. The snow was beautiful and it made it a fun night, but the cold and wind was a little rough,” he said. “Outside of that we had a great turnout this year.”
