“It takes a village”.
No truer statement has ever been spoken in regards to a small community planning an event.
It truly takes a strong commitment from local churches, businesses, and countless individuals to bring Christmas in the Park to life. .
For everyone who had any part in this year’s event…. Thank you! It was a beautiful day in so many ways.
If you have supported the many fundraisers throughout the year or donated money towards our event , you are appreciated more than you know. We literally count on you to be able to have the incredible fireworks and the free hot dogs. Because of your donations and support of the fundraisers, we were able to add extra fireworks this year.
Also to the vendors, the NPSO, and the Goldonna fire department…. Thank you so much for participating. We appreciate you being willing to spend your day with us.
We are also very grateful to all of the parade participants who came out to join in the fun. Santa, your presence in our village on Saturday during such your busy season was much appreciated.
And last but certainly not least, there are no words to adequately thank Eugean Garner for the countless hours that he devotes to the community. The fireworks and light displays in and around town would not be possible if Eugean did not put in the efforts to organize them. Christmas in the Park is definitely a success largely in part to Eugean’s dedication.
This year as Christmas approaches, I am truly grateful to live in a community that comes together to support the town and each other. I hope each of you have a blessed Christmas and may the Lord bless each of you in the new year.
Mayor Gayle Cloud
