A central yoke is incredibly important for the lighting because it is used to support the windmill vanes which typically house the holiday lights.
Stop by the lighting for festive activities like sipping on hot chocolate, enjoying holiday treats, a caricaturist, balloon magic, children's crafts and the
Voices of Southampton High School's
VOSH will be singing holiday classics. Following the lighting will be a talk with School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) Assistant Professor Janet A. Nye, "Shifts Happen: How will Climate Change Affect Fish and Fisheries?" at 7:30 p.m. in Duke Lecture Hall.
