Town to Hold Holiday Kickoff Tonight

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at Oxford's Town Hall.

 

The town of Oxford will hold its annual holiday kickoff at the Stephen B. Church Memorial Town Hall this evening, Friday, Dec. 7.

The festivities begin at 6 p.m. with music being performed by local school children. A tree lighting ceremony will be held promptly at 6:30 p.m.

Attendees are then invited to head inside for food and refreshments, including hot chocolate, coffee, sandwiches, etc.

There are also several events for children to enjoy. Santa Claus will be brought to town on a fire truck, and children can get their photos taken with him at the gazebo. There is also a large snow globe that children can go in and have their photos taken, as well.

The event, put on by the town’s Parks and Recreation Department, is free and open to the public. The Parks and Rec Dept. also has small toys for children.

Despite a threat of rain, the event will still be held, said Deb Gatto, parks and rec. director. She has cancelled the band, though, because there is not room for the band in Town Hall if they need to go inside. Thanks. We'll keep you posted with updates.

Hey Will. Yes, the GOMS band is cancelled tonight. Also, I got your email. Sounds great. I'm waiting to get the official word from my boss, but it sounds awesome and something I'd be interested in. Thanks, Will. I'll get back to you very soon.

There is a relatively new playscape at posypanko for town use. The one at Center School is fromRead More before QFS was built. The monkey bars are too small for the kids to even fit under. My point is if there is money to spend, and we want a playscape, how about fixing one that is used everyday.

why does it need to cost so much is what I wanna know... 138K...that's half of what I paid for myRead More house and land! Sounds like someones got 138K that's burning a hole in their pocket. Cant we find a less expensive playscape the kids would enjoy? or have it built by volunteers? maybe some of the very numerous contractors and builders living in Oxford would volunteer some time and skill to this project or better yet, some of these out of town builders who are throwing up McNeighborhoods in town would like to kick in some time and materiel for this? Heck If they wanna build here in town, they can start with a playscape..no?

How about lowering taxes for once. Or not making the people that were screwed by a croupt townRead More offical pay the debts that the town says they now owe. Why not run a surplus or add to rainy day fund. Why do we as the town of oxford need to spend it just because its there? Let's rethink this plan there are plenty of parks and we cn find a different way to fund this one. Or here's a novel idea let's get garbage pick up for the town.
