Community Tree Lighting

 
Winter Wonderland on December 5th
 
 
For the past nine years, our Rotary Club has partnered with the CER Chamber and ER/C Parks & Recreation to jointly host the community tree lighting at Rotary Park in Town Center. This year’s date is December 5th and volunteer support is needed for the following:
 
  • Reindeer Handlers – Be strong and able to keep sharp antlers out of little kids eyes
  • Torch Bearers – To lead the Processional of Santa and his reindeer
  • Crowd / Snow Fence Volunteers – To help unroll snow fencing in front of the processional to create a physical barrier separating the crowds from the deer antlers.
  • Canned Food Collection Table – Man the table and collect cash donations and canned for the ER Food Pantry
 
The Elementary School Choirs have been invited to sing and free horse drawn sleigh rides are available from 6 until 8:30pm. Santa and Reindeer will process in at 7pm.  A number of businesses will hand  out warm drinks and goodies and the senior center will provide soup – all at no cost. This is truly a night of fun and charity as we welcome in the holiday season.  Following the chilly outdoor extravaganza, the Gambles will host a fire side at their house. So mark your calendars for December 5th and let us know how you might help make this another successful event!
