Happy Holidays, O-Town!!

With a dazzle of sparkling lights and a fanfare of fireworks, Ogden officially welcomed the Christmas season to town this weekend. Ogden area residents braved the cold and intermittent snow flurries to watch the nearly 30 entries in the Holiday Electric Light parade. Parade entrants included Willy Wonka (courtesy of Weber State University), four local marching bands, a Coca-Cola truck, and various dignitaries and agencies. As is customary, the final entry was Jolly Ol' St. Nick himself (accompanied by his"better half"), this year riding in a horse drawn carriage that would make most wanna be princesses jealous.
After the parade, a short ceremony took place at the amphitheater followed by the lighting of Christmas Village and magnificent red, green, white, and gold fireworks.
This is just the first of many wonderful holiday activities planned for the Ogden area. I will try to keep this blog site updated with some of the activities, announcing details before, and highlighting them after the fact, when possible. If you attend an event and would like to report on it, or if you know of an event that may be of interest to fellow Ogdenites, please email me at ogdenlancer@yahoo.com and I will post it.
The holidays are here, Ogden! Let's enjoy it while it lasts!
