CHRISTMAS STROLL
If you are looking for a present for your family, just want to make them happy, or just want to make yourself happy.... the stores are decked and full of the most endearing gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list. Spend the day shopping, lunching (with a special holiday drink) and end your day with ice skating. It's holiday bliss!
NOVEMBER 28 - JANUARY 2021
LIGHT UP THE PARK
There is a sense of magic at the first blink of twinkling Christmas lights and that magic will happen at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park starting 6pm on November 28th. Everyone is invited to drive through the park on November 28th and tune in WHLC, our local radio station, who will be broadcasting carols, the Christmas story and hosting the Lighting of the Park opening. Evenings set amongst the softly lit trees of the park, joy and laughter from the ice skating rink, that's what memories are made from.
