Longview Link - Christmas in the Country

(Page 5)

By Chey Nickerson
Well Santa month is here!! Each little town is having its own light up ceremony and every place you go the Christmas music is filling the air. Has anyone else noticed that it seems the Christmas merchandise and music is playing earlier and earlier each year! The weather certainly has done its part to remind us that regardless of what the calendar says, winter is here!
Donations have been coming in to the Light Up Longview fund and on Sunday, December 5th our tree adjacent to the Village Office will be lit up and decorated. We are also waiting for our light standard decorations to arrive so that we can have those up and “glowing” before Christmas. We have experienced a bit of a delay, but barring any further “technical difficulties” we hope to have them in our possession soon and lighting up the main street for all to enjoy.
Don't miss out on the Benefit Dance and Silent Auction at the East Longview Community Hall, December 11th. Doors open at 7:00pm with proceeds going to the Foothills Search & Rescue as well as Rowan House Emergency Shelter. Come out and “TWO STEP ROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE”. Tickets are available through Marg 403-558-0082 or Marion at 403-558-2255.
Longview Stampede is getting ready for their Christmas in the Park on Thursday, December 23rd. Lots of fun for everyone and every age so drop by the rink area at the campground and enjoy the evening with your neighbours. Weather permitting there will be skating, hay rides, music, a bonfire, hot chocolate and hot dogs as well as a special visit from some guy in a red suit! Be there by 6:30pm to enjoy the event.
