The iWireless Center's annual Christmas tree is scheduled to arrive today at approximately 10:15 am

The tree is being donated by Rick and Teresa Holmquist of Moline. The tree is approximately 55 feet tall and is a blue spruce but will likely be cut down to 35-40 feet.  Media is invited and encouraged to attend as the tree is raised.

This holiday display has become a tradition in downtown Moline. The tree will contain approximately 30,000 lights and be lit on Saturday, November 22, 2014, at the annual Lighting on the Commons ceremony to be held from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. on the John Deere Commons.

Following the Lighting patrons are encouraged to stick around as the Quad City Mallards battle Rapid City at 7:00 pm at the iWireless Center. Families who attend the Lighting on the Commons will be able to get a free kids ticket for every adult ticket they purchase to the November 22 game.

Additional information about Lighting on the Commons is available at www.lightingonthecommons.com, and tickets are available for the Quad City Mallards game at The iWireless Center box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, or charge by phone at 800-745-3000.
