South Lyon celebrates holiday spectacular; police present life‑saving awards
Summary
DDA director reported on a well-attended holiday spectacular and parade; the police department honored two officers and two civilians with life‑saving awards after a November rescue involving CPR and an AED that stabilized a patient.
DDA Director Kim Rivera told council that 380 people responded to a downtown branding survey and recapped a successful holiday spectacular that included horse-drawn carriage rides, a petting zoo, ice‑carving demonstrations and a lighted parade. Rivera named parade award winners and thanked volunteers, sponsors and media partners; she announced public meetings for the DDA annual report and provided recurring meeting schedules for several downtown committees.

Chief Unruh presented life‑saving ribbons to Officer Stevens and Officer Osborne and civilian awards to Catherine Bieseck and Frederick Meineke for administering CPR and using an AED before EMS arrived.
Council members thanked volunteers and organizers, encouraged shopping local, and highlighted upcoming community events including a Shop with First Responders program and a New Year's Eve community celebration.
