Hello My friends, My wife and I Have been the chairmen of the Olde Tyme Christmas event for over 25 years. We started out with 12 people on the committee and over the years that number has dwindled down to just the wife and I for the last few years. We love the event but feel it is time for some fresh blood to take over and bring some new ideas to the table. We will be glad to help the next chairman get started but we will not be in-charge next year and if someone does not step up to take over the event the town will not have the this great celebration. Please contact the town hall if you are interested. It has been a long and wonderful ride but it is time for us to enjoy someone else’s hard work for a change. Thanks to all of the wonder people that have helped over the years.
