Bankers kick off 30th anniversary with tree-lighting ceremony


On Friday night, the Festival of Light welcomed its first-ever Big Tree Sponsor as bankers
from The First Bank & Trust Co. lit up the 16-story beacon of Christmas cheer. Seen for
miles around, the tree has become a key symbol of Chickasha’s national reputation for
holiday tourism and family fun. During the festival’s 43-day run each year, the Big Tree
points with pride to Chickasha’s Shannon Springs Park for the 21,800 drivers of vehicles on
Interstate 44 in this area. FNBT is the first-ever sponsor of the Big Tree, one of many
enhancements during the festival’s 30 th anniversary season. (Photo by Jim Tibbetts/Creative
