The holiday season festivities in the Harbour have been absolutely over the top and the town centre decorated to the max. Folks of all ages have enjoyed every event. The true spirit of Christmas is alive and well in our community. All of these joyous occasions are result of the creativity, hard work, dedication, teaming and generous donation of time and effort by volunteers. Stop and think about all the fine offerings we enjoy because of our volunteers. Without their efforts, no events, no music, and lacking the funds they raise would leave us empty in so many ways.
A huge heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you. The best Christmas gift is to live here amongst you, some of the best people on the planet.
Happy holidays and best wishes for 2024! May good health, happiness and kindness prevail.
