High Prairie Light-Up shines in the night!

· by ·

Crowds gathered for the 36th annual High Prairie Winter Light-Up at the Town of High Prairie Civic Square on Nov. 29 to kick off the Christmas season. The High Prairie Community Beautification Association hosted the event with the Town of High Prairie. After the lights were turned on by Beautification president Chris Clegg, children visited Santa Claus and played games at the Gordon Buchanan Recreation Centre. Many stores extended their business hours to encourage shoppers. The weather was very cold with a breeze as temperatures dropped to around – 25C.

A beautiful bow above the headlights of a High Prairie School Division bus was the perfect touch for their Santa Claus Parade entry.
Horizon Ag & Turf (formerly Martin Deerline) went all out with their colourful and wintry entry in the Santa Claus Parade. An igloo was the perfect accessory for the cold evening!

Joy to the Word! People from several local churches joined voices to sing Christmas carols in bone-chilling temperatures before the Santa Claus Parade.
High Prairie Community Beautification Association chair Chris Clegg pulls the switch to turn on the Christmas lights in the Town of High Prairie Civic Square. Beautification requested the Buchanan Family to flip the switch in recognition of a recent $50,000 donation; however, they deferred the job to Beautification as thanks for all they work they do in organizing Light-Up.
