Thanks to all who participated in our 6th annual Festival of Lights. A record 34 trees were decorated by our local businesses and organizations. All of the trees are beautiful and showed that a lot of thought went in to the decorating. We are happy to announce that 991 cans of food were collected for the food pantry – thanks to all of you! We look forward to enjoying the decorations into the new year. The winners of the contest were as follows:

Business: Shear Madness, 1st Place; Feather Tik ‘N” Thyme, 2nd Place; Empire Telephone, 3rd Place.
Organization: Red Hatters, 1st Place; Prattsburg Free Library, 2nd Place.
Youth Groups: Prattsburgh Pioneers 4-H, 1st Place; PCS Student Council, 2nd Place.

Congratulations to the Red Hatters on the grand prize for collecting 237 cans! Next year we look forward to breaking the 1,000 can mark.
