Season’s Greetings

It is wonderful to see our community coming alive with the spirit of the season! Our Town holds a special charm throughout the year, but there is a special magic that happens when December approaches that reminds us why we love to call this town our home. On behalf of the Town Council and Town Staff, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season! To celebrate this most wonderful time of the year, there are many exciting happenings in our Town this month. Please check your local papers and shops for all the festive events. - Mayor Pat Rockinberg
