A Capitol Christmas
Dec 7, 2015
The annual Christmas at the Capitol began with just 12 trees in 1981. Today nearly 100 decorated trees fill the Capitol rotunda and three floors of historic hallways. This year's theme is "Christmas Around the World." Its centerpiece is a 29-foot Colorado blue spruce from Baltic located in the Capitol rotunda. The public is invited to view the holiday display from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily through December 26. Several special events are planned for the season, including the 18th annual Ag Pie Day on December 12 when free pie, ice cream and coffee is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Photos by Andy Ogan.
