A magical mailbox has appeared just inside the Kirksey Recreation Center. Drop off a letter in Santa's Mailbox by Dec. 3 and we'll make sure it gets delivered in time for a response before Christmas! There is no cost to mail Santa these letters, but make sure the child's name and address are on the letter to Santa so he can get a response to the correct location. |

Greenmead holiday gathering takes next step with more lights, activities
The Livonia Night of Lights program initiated last winter to brighten the Greenmead Historic Village will grow to provide more lights, more activities, and more fun this upcoming holiday season.
Thanks to business sponsorships, the Alexander Blue House and surrounding yards were colorfully decorated throughout December which created a great stage for Santa to meet people on the porch of the House for Saturday and Sunday evening.
This December, the effort will expand to add lights to five more historic structures and numerous trees on the Greenmead campus, located on Newburgh south of Eight Mile.
There will be new weekend activities designed to entertain people of all ages. New this year will be children’s arts and crafts inside Newburg School, and a heated hospitality tent with outside firepits for sales of alcoholic beverages, snacks, warm beverages, and soft drinks for public gatherings on the weekends. There will be street hockey rinks in the parking lot, and choir performances at Newburg Church at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturdays.
Admission will be a $10 suggested donation per vehicle for the activities during the weekend evenings of December 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19. Some event proceeds will be used to support Friends of Greenmead and the Livonia Anniversary Committee. The activities will be open from 5-10 p.m. on the Friday and Saturday dates and 5-8 p.m. on the Sunday dates.
The community holiday festivities will shift to the Livonia Civic Center area on Sunday, December 5, starting with the annual parade at 4 p.m.
