We may live in a small community but we have spirit! Tonight many of us gathered to cheer on the lighting of the big tree downtown and see the other lights that have been put up for our enjoyment. I learned that I don’t have a steady hand when taking photos with my insulted mittens ~ but the wind chill was 15 degrees! So some of the photos have a “special effect” look to them…
The Christmas Tree at the main intersection of town.
There are trees decorated by businesses or groups ~ here’s a couple of them:
Notice that the legs of the reindeer are those of a walker, and you can’t see it but the tree stand is in a commode!
Other lights around the park:
The first year we lived here I wondered what frogs had to do with Christmas (even if they do croak “Jingle Bells” over the load speaker) but then I realized that they are on the platform along the river…
Also along the river is a papermill, no longer in operation. I wish I had a good camera, and steady hand, to show clearly the brick building with a candle in each window ~ time to use your imagination:
I wonder how community spirit is shared in other corners of the world…
