There may be a few Scrooges and Grinches in Bear River, but most of the folks around town still know how to celebrate the season. Our fabulous volunteer fire department came through with another village Christmas tree this year, and the trees and candy canes across town makes the town a special “Bear River festive”. The folks up on Landsdowne Rd. really got into the spirit with their amazing array of Christmas lights. Even the Flight of Fancy got into the act.
Then there are the Christmas, “must do” events. Since it is Noel Lalonde’s birthday, Myrtle and Rosie’s has a special Friday night celebration, and this year everyone was supposed to put on the dog. Diane, stole the show and declared herself the winner in an outfit created for her by Zoë , and everyone had to agree!
For thirty years, give or take, the Greenland crowd has put on a Christmas concert, that has become famous, and rightly so. With the talents of the Hewey family and the Greg Peck family, how could it go wrong? The little church gets standing room only crowds. With guest appearances from Elvis and Red Green, we can understand why! We are truly blessed to have such people of talent in our community.
And then there are those who really know how to go over the top when it comes to Christmas decor. Right here in Bear River is someone who devotes herself and her home to every aspect of the festive season. Talk about extreme decorating. Wow, is all we can say. ( Some of these acquaintances do look like hobos!)
