Castlegar gets in the Christmas spirit
By Kyra Hoggan
Despite the cancellation of Winterfest, the Christmas season is alive and well in Castlegar – for example, today, the Castlegar Fire Department picked up toys from the Grade 2 classes at Kinnaird Elementary School. The children raised money via bake sales, etc.and then purchased toys and donated them to for the Castlegar Firefighters toy run. The Castlegar Fire Department’s toy run is this Saturday at A&W.
Meanwhile, the Pass Creek Exhibition Society and Dirty Diggers are sponsoring a Christmas in the Park event on Dec. 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There willl be live music, games and hayrides, as well as a chance to share your Christmas list with Santa.
