For the 21st year, Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) is hanging the “Merry Christmas” wreath on the north side of the One Summit Square Building at 110 East Wayne Street.I&M will light the wreath tonight during HolidayFest 2008, sponsored by the Downtown Improvement District on Wednesday, November 26. Activities for the annual holiday lighting event will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the lighting of the Santa display on the north side of the National City Bank Building.
The wreath is 32 feet in diameter and weighs 3½ tons. There are 3,975 red bulbs, 3,375 green bulbs and 1,150 white bulbs. This year the wreath underwent a mild restoration with some wiring changes and 300 new light sockets, as well as a fresh coat of paint.
In addition, in an effort to conserve energy and save money, I&M has also replaced the incandescent bulbs with light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs that save energy and last longer. I&M also replaced the incandescent bulbs in the strands of lights in the trees around the base of One Summit Square.
