GUERNSEY—The community’s Winter’s Eve Festival celebration will have a new format this year in the hopes that it will make it a bit easier for residents to attend more of the events.
A committee made up of people from the Economic Development Group, Tri-City Parks and Recreation, the Town of Guernsey and Guernsey-Sunrise Schools have been working for several months to organize and plan for this year’s events, scheduled for Wednesday, December 5th.
This year’s Winter’s Eve Festival theme is “All I Want for Christmas” and parade entries should reflect that theme. Registration forms will be available this Wednesday at Guernsey City Hall, First State Bank, Oregon Trail Bank, and Register Cliff Pharmacy. Parade registrations will be due by Monday, Decemer 3rd at 5 p.m. and should be returned to Guernsey City Hall. Full instructions and information may be found on the registration form.
Local businesses have been invited to hold day-long events during their regular business hours on December 5th.
