2006 Castlegar Community Christmas Celebration Not even a snowstorm could keep local families away from the first annual Community Christmas celebration held at the Castlegar Complex on Sunday, November 26th from 11 am until 3 pm. This inaugural event, held in conjunction with the upcoming Winterfest tree lighting ceremony and parade, was sponsored by Columbia Power Corporation and the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce, and was organized by local residents Joanne Baker and Pat Foodikoff. The main focus of this free event was to bring families in our community together for a day of fun that included Christmas craft making using recycled materials. Children had the opportunity to create Christmas centerpieces, gift tags and many different kinds of Christmas tree ornaments--either for their tree at home or to be hung on the downtown Christmas tree during Friday night's tree lighting ceremony. Adding to the group of 30 volunteers were students from Stanley Humphries Secondary School, who donned costumes and interacted with the children in various activities, such as reindeer games and cake walks. All through the day, a fabulous contingent of local talent entertained the crowd with singing, Highland dancing and even a puppet show. The Castlegar Lions Club was on hand to provide much appreciated refreshments. Columbia Power Corporation and the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce thank all those families who braved the weather to attend this event, and encourage everyone in the community to join in the Winterfest activities this coming weekend.
