The Spring City Council meeting on December 5, 2024, highlighted the community's festive spirit as preparations for the annual Christmas celebration took center stage. Council members expressed excitement about the upcoming event, which promises to bring joy and creativity to residents of all ages.
Kimberly Stewart, who has been instrumental in organizing the holiday decorations, shared her enthusiasm for the unique displays created by community members. She noted the collaborative effort involved in setting up the lights, which will be activated in a special ceremony. Unlike traditional setups, the lights will be turned on from various power poles, adding a unique twist to the event.
The council also announced that awards would be given to the top three holiday displays, recognizing the creativity of participants. The winners will be revealed before the lights are officially turned on, adding an element of anticipation to the festivities.
In addition to the lighting ceremony, the event will feature a visit from Santa Claus, who will arrive on a fire truck. Children will have the opportunity to engage in various activities, including cookie decorating, ornament making, and enjoying a hot chocolate bar—all at no cost to families, thanks to generous donations from local businesses and community members.
Lorraine, another key organizer, has successfully secured donations to ensure that every child under 12 can take home a special treat. The council emphasized the importance of community involvement, thanking all those who contributed their time and resources to make the celebration possible.
As the city gears up for this festive occasion, residents are encouraged to join in the fun and celebrate the holiday spirit together. The council's efforts reflect a commitment to fostering community connections and creating memorable experiences for families in Spring City.
