Annual Holiday Events Set for Dec. 6
The Mayor's Tree Lighting Ceremony as well as the Ho Ho Express neighborhood ATV/UTV parade will take place on Tuesday, December 6, at Edwardsville City Hall and inside the Edwardsville Community Center. The parade will set out into residential neighborhoods shortly after 6:00 PM. Decorated vehicles will drive though the whole town, ending at City Hall around 7:00 PM, leading directly into the tree lighting. As always, the EDW Elementary Choir will be on-hand to provide some caroling for the attendees. Following the lighting of the tree and comments from Mayor Caiharr, the festivities will migrate over to the Community Center for coco, crafts, and a visit from Santa himself.
This year's event will feature the EDW Gingerbread House Contest. Participants will drop off their creations no later than Friday, Dec. 2 for display during the Community Center portion of the evening. Blind voting will take place that night and the results will be shared in the Dec. 9 edition of the Edwardsville Hotshot.
