Mr. Speaker, on Friday evening I was honoured to join
hundreds of other residents in the official opening of
the Bay Roberts eleventh annual Festival of Lights for
2008.
The evening began with an illumination parade to the
Wilbur Sparkes Recreation Complex. Members of the
special events committee and the councillors for the
town served hot chocolate and treats to all those in
attendance.
The highlight of the celebrations was the lighting of
the Christmas tree and the award-winning illumination
park. The Christmas illumination park was a first for
this Province and won an award in the national
competition last year.
Mr. Speaker, daily, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
additional displays can be observed this Christmas
season. For those visiting the site, all you have to do
is just turn your radio to 88.5 FM and listen to twenty,
minute songs of the season which are synchronized with
the lights, a must for all to see.
Mr. Speaker, I join Mayor Littlejohn and the councillors
in saying thank you to the special events committee and
the sponsors for a tremendous job in presenting Festival
of Lights 2008.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
