Celebrating the holidays in Clinton

Community news happening around the Clinton area of the South Cariboo

The Clinton Communities In Bloom Committee is making plans for the Second Annual Clinton Victorian Christmas Weekend.

On Saturday, Dec. 7 the Annual Merchant Madness Sale will take place at all participating businesses from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The museum will hold an Open House from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and the Legion Craft Sale will take place in the Legion basement at the same time.

There will be caroling and the lighting of the official Village Christmas tree in front of the Village Office around 5 p.m.

The Clinton Churches Community Christmas Dinner is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the Memorial Hall.

A Victorian Father Christmas will be strolling the street and visiting the businesses during the Merchant Madness Sale.

On Sunday, Dec. 8 the Legion Children’s Christmas Party will be held up stairs in the Legion. Children must be preregistered for this.

So far that is the only confirmed event for Sunday but the Communities in Bloom Committee is hoping at least one or two more organizations will come on board.

Any group wishing

to add to this fun weekend can contact Susan Swan at Country Squire Gift Shop or leave word at the Village Office.

Come and join us for some old fashioned Christmas fun.

This will be the 150th Christmas since the naming of the community as Clinton.

Christmas lighting contest

The Clinton Communities in Bloom Committee has partnered with the Clinton 150/50 Committee to hold a Christmas Lighting Contest in the Village of Clinton.

Use your imagination and decorate and light up your house and/or business.

Some people have been busy decorating already. Thanks to the 150/50 Committee there will be a prize of $50 for the best residence and the best business decorations. The challenge goes out to everyone.

Let’s light up Clinton.

Stuffing stockings

Integris will also be holding another “Stocking Stuffer Campaign.” This will be the third annual stocking stuffer event.

It has gone over very well the last two years, with the goal being to make everyone’s Christmas a little brighter.

Empty stockings are given out at Integris. They are filled from individuals in the Community who wish to participate and then taken back to Integris.

Integris Employees will deliver these stockings to those who are alone during the holiday season, or less fortunate than others.

If you have someone in mind who would benefit from a stocking or you would like to fill a stocking please contact Evelyn Bell at Integris Insurance 250-459-2301.
