SHAWVILLE Nov. 28-29, 2019
Carollers strolled briskly down the length of . . .
Main Street in Shawville on Friday evening, en route to Veteran’s Memorial Park for the annual tree lighting ceremony.
The evening was emceed by Shawville councillor
Patti Moffat, and featured traditional Christmas songs
and speeches on peace and good will.
There were also warm refreshments for the public. Once all was said, everyone oohed and ahhed as the lights were plugged in and the park was illuminated in festive colour.
The next evening, people of all ages lined Main Street for the annual parade of lights. Floats of all shapes and sizes, decked out with lights, ornaments and even inflatable decorations cruised down the street, heaving candy this way and that. The final destination was the arena, where children lined up for a chance to meet old Saint Nick.
