[RP TownTalk] Lights needed

[Audrey Bragg]

Thank you Dannielle for the reminder about getting our lights up.  I found the program from the Second Festival of Lights that took place on December 17, 2004 and found a poem about the festival I wanted to share with everyone to get us in the mood: Written by a local resident:Riverdale  Park Festival of Lights
Put us on the TrolleyRide us through the townUp the road and downAll around and round.
Bright lights, delightsAll through the nightSinging, bells ringingAll is just right.
Santa in his bright red suitElves all dressed in greenCandy canes, lollipopsAppear upon the scene.
Riding to the MansionWe stop and take the tourSee the decorationsWatch the fire roar.
Off to the bake-offWe can't wait to tasteAll the goodies, oh so sweetNone will go to waste.
Smiling and happyWe end our fun tonightGo home and go to bedTurn out the light...Good Night!

Neighbors,
Next Saturday, December 14th, will be the annual Festival of Lights and Holiday Market.  If you haven’t already done so, please take the time this weekend to decorate the exterior of your home. 
The trolley rides are so much more fun when there are lots of light displays to see especially if a whole block is decorated! This event kicks off the beginning of centennial events celebrating Riverdale Park’s incorporation, so it would be extra special to have even more homes decorated throughout town than previous years! 
As always the trolley will stop at Riversdale House Museum which is beautifully decorated and carolers will be on board to lead everyone in song (btw, a great volunteer activity for those strong singers in town). Please bring your family and friends to this special town event!
Also, did you know that the 1st Festival of Lights was held in 2003? See photos of the town over the years as well as learn more about RP history with the upcoming 2020 Centennial Calendar. Sneak peaks to come! This item will be begin selling next week at the Holiday Market for $10. All proceeds to the centennial celebrations. 
Interested in volunteering for historic home tours, assisting with archiving and more next year for the centennial, then please contact Aaron Faulx. He is ccd on this email.
Have a beautiful weekend decorating your home with lights!
Dannielle
