Smaller Ferguson Holiday Event\u00a0Celebration is Part of the Healing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There was no lighted parade like in years past, but there<\/p>\n

were other holidays events normally associated with the city Northern Lights celebration held annually on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

The regular date had to be cancelled this year in wake of all the clean-up, fix-up efforts in the city.<\/p>\n

Mayor James Knowles said city leaders felt it would be good event to hold even if it was scaled back, By dark a few hundred people were on hand for the tree lighting event.<\/p>\n

Knowles said it was necessary to get things moving forward once again in the city. The Northern Lights was a good starting point, as the city, since mid-August has had to cancel the annual StreetFest in September, the bicycle Twilight Run in October and then the first scheduled Northern Lights originally set for Nov. 30<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s event including a holiday market, face painting, kids crafts, the trackless train, free cookies and hot chocolate. There were twice as many venders at past Northern Lights events. But there was a visit from Santa and story telling by Mrs. Claus (see bottom photo)<\/p>\n
