Warm night matches feelings as the holiday season gets underway
On perhaps the warmest night in recent history, Centreville celebrated its annual Christmas tree lighting on Nov. 20.
The square was filled with residents in a joyful spirit, anxious to kick off the holiday season. To help with the festivities, Carleton North JV girls’ basketball team members were on hand to serve guests hot chocolate and cookies, which BWS Manufacturing provided.
After opening remarks from Councilor Mike Stewart, Andrea Weston, and John MacLeod provided musical entertainment. Following a rousing Christmas sing-a-long, in recognition of being in business for 40 years, staff members “past, present, and future” from Country Card & Gift were invited to the stage to light the 2024 Christmas tree.
The evening finished with a visit from Santa Claus and his wife, who took time from their busy schedule to visit with the local children.
