Just in time for the Tree of Lights virtual lighting ceremony which will be held on Friday, December 3 at 6:30 p.m., local Communities in Bloom volunteers created Christmas Swags for Main Street and the Railway Station in Barry’s Bay. The creative helpers included Elser Lee (Faith) Archer, Jeneene Brunton, Anna and Peter Dolan, Ritsuko Honda, Maryjka Mychajlowycz, and Colina Taylor. Above from left: Maryjka Mychajlowycz, Anna Dolan, Jeneene Brunton and Elser Lee (Faith) Archer show off their Christmas swags. Photo submitted.
In addition to the volunteers from the Madawaska Valley Gardening Club, Madawaska Valley municipal Operations staff also worked to add festive cheer to the community by displaying the decorative swags in town. Readers can enjoy the sight when shopping in Barry’s Bay, and can also tune in to the virtual Tree of Lights lighting ceremony on Facebook/St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation.
Wonderful work to communities in bloom!!
