The Goldonna Christmas in the Park Committee is hard at work planning and raising money for another successful Christmas Festival. This year marks the 28th year of the Festival.
The CITP committee is selling raffle tickets for a gun giveaway. The tickets are being sold for the low cost of $10 each. They can be purchased from any Board member, the Store, or Mr. Eugean Garner. The drawing will be held on Sunday, September 8th at the Fish Fry Fundraiser.
The famous Fish Fry is definitely a local favorite that residents look forward to every year. The plates will again be $10. The plate will include fish fried to perfection, tasty and well seasoned fries, scrumptious hush puppies, and a side of delightful coleslaw. The committee can absolutely use your help selling these tickets and collecting items that will defray the cost of preparation. All of the money raised is poured directly back into the festival.
If you have never had the pleasure of visiting the Goldonna Christmas in the Park, add it to your list of holiday “must-dos”. It is truly like visiting the set of a Hallmark movie that is bustling with townspeople with a perfect Christmas backdrop. The festival always includes a lighted parade as well as fireworks. Be on the lookout for more details coming in the next few weeks.
