DUBLIN — Bladen County’s first significant municipal event was here Saturday night, with the annual Christmas tree lighting.

The Dublin Peanut Festival committee organized the event, which was situated next to Town Hall.

Horace Wyatt opened the event with a welcome speech and prayer. Dublin First Baptist sang Christmas songs and Louis Brisson “flipped the switch” to turn on the lights.

The Dublin Volunteer Fire Department brought Santa and the Grinch.
