Catch the Spirit of the Holidays!
|
Dear Reader,
I have worked in both mall and downtown management for over
20 years. With all that special event planning experience, I have never seen a
community like Telford.
They embrace new community events with an enthusiasm that is
unprecedented. For the first tree lighting ceremony last year, we had over 300
people attend. The farmers' market just
keeps growing.
With an addition of more Telford volunteers, this year will
be even more impressive than last year.( I am afraid of what this event will evolve
into in 10 years. )
You don't want to miss the beginning of this journey. Read
on and plan to join us on Friday, Dec. 11 for this year's Telford Christmas
Celebration!

The Very Busy Evening
|
 Friday, Dec. 11 will start out in warmth. Local favorite, Tara Lynn, will debut her holiday CD at St. Paul's Lutheran
Church at 7 pm.
We have music from Jeff Ward starting at 6:30 pm. So come
early, find a seat and visit with your neighbors before Tara Lynn's concert at
7 pm.
At 7:30 pm, Tara Lynn will lead the audience down to the
pavilion in the Marketplace at Telford Station. Local music school, Carousel
Productions, will be doing a melody of Christmas Carols at the pavilion.
Tara Lynn and Carousel Productions will lead the crowd in
holiday carols until The Big Guy in Red arrives.
With the help of the crowd, Santa will light the Telford
 Christmas Tree and then he will be available to visit.
All this happens regardless of the weather. It would take a
dangerous ice storm for us to call a cancellation.

Help Your Neighbors
|
One of the highlights of the Telford Tree Lighting
Celebration is the generous support everyone brings for the Jessica Leshinskie Memorial Holiday Food and Gift Drive. Last year, the amount of cash and gift cards
that were handed to Randy Floyd was humbling.
This Drive is run by the Telford Police Department with a
proceeds going to local families who would not have a memorable holiday without
the generous outpouring of support from their neighbors.
Bring non perishable food items, cash or gift cards to
grocery or general merchandise stores and give them to Randy Floyd.
