WHAT:  South Coast Plaza's live 96-ft. white fir holiday tree is
        scheduled to arrive at its Orange County home in Town Center
        Park in Costa Mesa, California on Friday, October 24 at 7:00
        a.m. It will make the 650-mile journey from the Mt. Shasta
        area of Northern California on the largest allowable-sized
        trailer.

       A 200-ton crane will lift the tree into position at
        approximately 9:00 a.m. on October 24. This early arrival is
        necessary, as it takes three weeks to adorn the tree with
        20,000 colored lights.

       On Thursday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m., the 27th Annual Tree
        Lighting Ceremony takes place. Free to the public, guests can
        hail Santa's arrival as holiday music warms the air during the
        lighting of the 96-foot tree. Students from the Orange County
        High School of the Arts will perform at the tree lighting
        ceremony, one of Orange County's oldest and best beloved
        holiday traditions.

WHEN:  Tree Arrival - Friday, October 24 at 7:00 a.m.

       Tree Raising - Friday, October 24 at 9:00 a.m.

       Tree Lighting Ceremony - Thursday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m.

WHERE: Town Center Park, Costa Mesa, Calif.
       (Located adjacent to The Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel near
        intersection of Bristol Street and Anton Boulevard)
