Two of the many signs of the season were turned on this weekend, as the Hometown Annual Christmas Festival was held at the Event Center, and the Light Show at City Park kicked off the beginning of its season.

The Christmas Festival was another chance for folks to support their local vendors during the busy holiday gift season.  In addition to the vendors, lunch was also available, as were chances to take pictures with Santa and the Grinch.  Donations supported local veterans.

The Christmas Light Show has become a major attraction around the area, and even brings people in from farther-flung locales.  The light show will be running through the holiday season during the evenings.  Tune in to 91.1 at the City Park to hear the music, and visitors can use their phones to request songs from the 2022 lineup.
