McKeesport's 25th annual Festival of Trees is underway through Monday at Jacob Woll Pavilion in Renziehausen Park. Hours are 12 to 9 p.m. daily. Parking is free and local choral and musical groups will perform each day.

Admission for adults is $2, while children are admitted free with a canned good for donation to area food banks. Roving photographer John Barna was there last night and presents some snapshots from this year's event.

But John says you'd better behave, because the guy shown above knows when you've been bad or good. (We think he works for the Pennsylvania Department of Homeland Security.)
