The Village had a wonderful time in Robeline this past weekend at our 3rd annual Christmas in
the Park. It definitely didn’t feel like Christmas temperature wise, but it was a gorgeous day
anyway. The festivities kicked off with a parade with quite a good showing. Plenty of candy for
the kids to get a good sugar rush going. As the parade ended, the fun flowed into the park.
Pulled pork sandwiches were provided for free for all through donations. Cane’s was kind
enough to donate tea and lemonade also. As the kids took pictures with Santa, parents entered
them into the toy giveaway. With over $1,800 for toys being donated there was plenty to go
around. It’s probably the best problem to have when everyone is wondering, how much more
can there be? We had a wonderful time and the kids had fun. It was also just nice to be out and
about with our community.
Last Thursday, the Village did vote to hire another part time officer for the weekends. Which I
think is great, since people definitely know when we don’t have coverage. In front of my house
turns into the Indy 500 real quick.
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope you have an amazing time with friends
and family. I am eternally grateful for the reason for this season, Jesus Christ.
