| During the holiday season of 1982 our Kiwanis
Club began the tradition of decorating the grounds of the Fishers Town Hall.
(Now the house in front of Fritz Used Cars)
We erected a “tree” of lights on the flag pole and placed lighted
figurines, a manger scene, and strings of lights on trees around the
property. Some of those trees were planted by our club. Each year we held a
public tree lighting ceremony complete with singing choir, Santa, hot
chocolate and prizes awarded for the best poster colored by local elementary
school students. We also used the occasion to collect food for needy
families.
Although the Town took over decorating after the new Town Hall was
completed, we continued to place the manger scene and host the lighting
ceremony until 1997.
This project generated a lot of publicity for the
club. |
