NSU presents Lights On at Seminary Hall

(Tahlequah, Oklahoma) -- Northeastern State University will celebrate its 26th Lights On at Seminary Hall ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 4 on the Tahlequah campus. The popular event will bring the NSU and Tahlequah communities together to jumpstart the season while officially lighting the historic Seminary Hall for the holidays.

The event will include performances by a variety of campus and community talent. Hot chocolate will be served.

Tahlequah Mayor Jason Nichols and NSU First Lady Penny Turner will host the event. Special guests will also include NSU President Steve Turner, Miss Northeastern 2018 Lauren Frost, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and the elves.

Following the performances and the lighting, children will be able to visit Santa Claus inside Seminary Hall and receive a commemorative ornament and a special stocking stuffer from Saint Nick himself. Parents are encouraged to bring a camera to photograph their child with Santa. There will also be a winter wonderland photo booth available for families and friends.

Lights On is a celebration open to students and the community, at no cost.

Dr. Robyn Pursley, one of the events organizers, said, Lights On is a great opportunity to bring the entire community together. We have had a great turn out every year, and we hope to continue that tradition this year as well.

Following Lights On, families are encouraged to head over to the NSU Center for the Performing Arts, as the Department of Music hosts its Good Yule concert filled with holiday spirit beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 general admission, $5 for students and seniors.
