With Christmas right around the corner, the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Oaklawn Grange was held Dec. 12.

The Christmas tree and Gazebo were lit by Mayor Allan Fung and his wife, Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung. The event included visits with Santa Claus, music and horse-drawn hayrides provided by New Deal Farm. Visitors enjoyed hot cocoa, cookies other treats.

Horses Eddie and Lenny, driven by New Deal Farm co-owner Julie Kliever, brought riders throughout the neighborhood.

Santa arrived in a Cranston fire truck and then took a hayride to the Grange to meet with local youngsters. A crowd of approximately 150 people turned out, and many brought canned goods to benefit local food pantries.

The Oaklawn Grange was organized in 1909 by 38 people who met at the Old Meeting House, at the location of what is now the Oaklawn Baptist Church. At that time, Oaklawn was a farming community, and the church donated the Meeting House as a place of fellowship.

AVON, Ohio -- The French Creek Foundation and the City of Avons annual Tree Lighting Ceremony went off without a hitch Dec. 7.

In addition to all the activities, Maya Rak, 10, helped Mayor Bryan Jensen to light the tree.

Maya is bravely fighting cancer right now and we are dedicating this years tree lighting to her, said Clint Gault of the French Creek Foundation, organizers of the yearly event.

What many people dont realize is that we have two meetings a month for six months in preparation of (the event) every year, with the ultimate goal of making an impact on a child who is going through a tough time, he said.

Maya Rak was the winner of the Ride with Santa competition this year. She is incredibly sweet, and my heart goes out to her and her family as she fights through her cancer treatments. I would ask that all say a prayer for her this holiday season."

The festival began at 5 p.m. at Avons gazebo at the corner of Detroit and Stoney Ridge roads. Maya and Santa then led the parade from the gazebo through Olde Avon Village to the municipal parking lot behind the Avon Senior Center, where activities took place.

Donations of canned goods, gift-wrapping supplies and money at the main tent all went to benefit the citys Community Resource Services.

Activities included a gingerbread house contest (see winners below); Live entertainment with a DJ, fairytale characters and an appearance by Lake Erie Crushers mascot Stomper; a craft tent; live reindeer and ponies; Avon school choirs; visits with Santa; and food, including pizza, cookies, coffee and hot cocoa.

"The event was the best it has ever been, Gault said, largely because of all of those who got involved and helped, with a couple thousand people in attendance, and the additions of pony rides and more food vendors.

We are blessed to have a mayor who stands behind and values community gatherings and helping to make an impact on those who are in need," he said.

The holidays sometimes can feel overwhelming with all of the year-end items that need to be completed, but it is important to take a step back and remember all of the blessings we have and be grateful for them, Gault said.

The event is a great reminder that, as the movie Its a Wonderful Life says, Life doesnt have to be perfect to be wonderful.

Winners of the gingerbread house contest were:

- Age Group 3-5: 1st -- Astoria Gault, 2nd -- Silas Long

- Age Group 6-8: 1st -- Bradley Wilson, 2nd -- Jon Gorney

- Age Group 9-11: 1st -- Samantha Gorney (also Library Choice Award), 2nd -- Samuel Plas

- Age Group 12-14: 1st -- Dominic Sprungl

- Age Group 15-18: 1st --Justin Sprungl

Gazebo Theatre Company, based in Bilston have worked alongside the toy appeal to provide free Christmas gifts for underprivileged and vulnerable children in the community.

The charitable cause supports children in families who may otherwise not receive any presents.

Gazebo's Dennis Ffrench, the longest playing black pantomime dame in the UK, and Rebecca Shepherd will be helping Santa deliver his toys alongside their fun, interactive panto workshops and shows.

The two groups will be visiting children across Wolverhampton and the Black Country.

Rebecca said: "Christmas isn't just about presents, it's about being with people you love and creating magical experiences and memories that last a lifetime.

"Working with Gazebo and the Sikh Toy Appeal this year, we've been able to do just that with so many families and young people.

"It gives us so much joy to see the smiles on their faces and spread the message of Christmas."

Last Sunday Gazebo and the Sikh Toy appeal presented gifts to young people and parents at St Chad's Church, Bilston.

They also had support from local councillors Olivia Birch, Linda Leach and Phil Page, who came along to the church to get involved.

Dennis added: "I have been performing Professional Pantomimes for 25 years. Working with Gazebo and the Sikh Toy Appeal feels like the pinnacle of my career.

"Not only is it a big thank you to a community who have supported me throughout the year, but it brings so much joy, love and hope into the lives of so many people.

"Gazebo and the Sikh Toy Appeal are the personification of community spirit, and I feel privileged and honoured to be part of that journey.

Rotherham-based Gala Tent has acquired an important patent which relates to the fixings used on its marquees and gazebos.

Founded in 1999, Gala Tent is one of the UK's leading producers of marquees, tents and gazebos. It has grown to sell over 15,000 tents and marquees each year, along with around 100,000 event accessories and furniture products. It grew from a table top operation in Grimethorpe to a company with a turnover of 10m having moved into new 53,000 sq ft headquarters at Fairfield Park in Manvers in 2011.

The patent relates to the manufacture and use of new type of fixing known as Spirotite. This type of fastener has all the advantages of threaded fasteners without the disadvantages of the thread. Whereas thread can work loose under vibration and makes maintenance difficult and sometimes costly, this innovative fastener works on compression, so it is not affected by vibration, and will not work loose.

Spirotite fittings are seen as safer and more secure than traditional threaded fittings and offer a faster set up and lower maintenance of a product. It is also much more effective than a traditional nut and bolt system, which is less secure, less durable and can easily become loose. Due to the faster production process, Spirotite fasteners are also lower cost to produce, so are more affordable for the end user.

"The grant of these key patents strengthens Gala Tent's position as a consolidator of IP in this space and provides our customers with access to a wider range of opportunities and potential development of further applications."

Mark Thompson, CEO at Gala Tent (pictured, left), added: "We have developed an innovative fastener that is set to revolutionise the way fasteners are used in industry.

"The idea for Spirotite was originally developed for Gala Tent for its marquee joint and it means that all the company's structures are easier and safer to erect. The fixing can also be scaled for the larger commercial modular structures, which will also enhance the security of the marquee, and speeding up the erection time in the process."

BARNEGAT, NJ In years past, Barnegat residents looked forward to the tree lighting at the Townships Municipal Hall. While holiday traditions certainly have their place, theres always room for improvement. In this case, it was a matter of preparing for what seemed to be inevitable.

Mayor Al Cirulli and I thought that construction would be underway on our new building, explained Committeeman Al Bille. We needed to find an alternative that would still brighten up the town.

It didnt take long to settle on the right place to highlight the greetings of the season. Gazebo Park became the ideal choice situated in the middle of the downtown area and adjacent to the roadway. While it wasn't the first time the Township decorated the gazebo, it seemed a novel idea to conduct the tree lighting there.

Our newsletter delivers the local news that you can trust.

You have successfully signed up for the TAPinto Barnegat/Waretown Newsletter.

Setting up the holiday fare became a collaborative effort. The Garden Market, which is located in Barnegat, donated a live Christmas tree and bows for the gazebo, Bille shared. The Township also received discounted rates for wreaths and garland.

Santas elves appeared in different forms for the tree lighting and to decorate other parts of the Township. Kathy Herring of the Recreation Department coordinated the efforts.

First, the Barnegat Garden Club took on the amazing task of trimming the flower barrels and adorning them for the holidays.

Jay and Bob from the Department of Public Works strung up the white lights in the park. That said, DPW workers posing as elves did something even more amazing.

The power company wanted $500 each to get our street decorations working, said Bille. Our guys got them operational with the help of a truck they borrowed from Stafford.

December 5th marked the first time Barnegat lit the tree in Gazebo Park. Miraculously, the rain held off that evening until after the mayor flipped the switch. And, then, thats when Barnegats own magic continued with some slight pitter-patter.

As the bright lights went on, it shouldnt be hard to guess who appeared to all the wondering eyes. Twas Barnegats Santa and Mrs. Santa there to welcome all to the start of the season. Soon after, they were off to visit the streets of children of all ages.

The location of Gazebo Park stands prominently in the center of many of our local businesses, Bille concluded. We plan to do the tree lighting there every year from now on, as well as other similar Township events.

LEWISTON, Maine Jennifer Hayes was surprised by the large number of people already lined up in Kennedy Park Friday afternoon when she arrived to set up tables to hand out warm clothing and food to those in need.

The 34 Christmas stockings filled with snacks went within minutes, said Hayes, 43, who set up the gifts with her 45-year-old sister, Amy. This is the best Christmas gift ever.

The Hayes sisters set up the tables with hot cocoa, snacks, baggies full of soap and other hygiene products, socks and homemade scarfs and hats in front of the gazebo in Lewistons Kennedy Park at 1 p.m. Within an hour, a lot of the handouts were gone.

We are doing this in honor of our father, who passed away six years ago today, Hayes said. This is something he would have done.

She also was celebrating her own triumph over seven years of homelessness and getting sober. Seeing so many people benefit from the donations made her happy, Hayes said.

The sisters held a similar event in Portland two years ago because there are more homeless in that city, but decided to bring the event closer to their home in Auburn this year.

They all said thank you, Amy Hayes said of the people who took a stocking or other gift and then disappeared as quickly as they had appeared in the park.

Youre a sweetheart, Jesse Kontoes, 59, of Auburn told Jennifer Hayes as he pushed his walker toward the table with the drinks and food. Hayes explained that Kontoes is mentally challenged.

Kontoes said he was hit by a car last year, and pulls up his pant leg to show a big bump that necessitates his continued use of the walker.

He opted for a drink of juice and a pre-cooked pepperoni pizza.

Im having pizza tonight, he beamed.

Mickaela Tirel, 20, of Auburn took her time sorting through the remaining items in the boxes on the table. She picked up mostly baggies full of hygiene products.

Im pregnant and homeless, Tirel said. Her baby is due in late summer.

This holiday season Tirels needs are especially pressing, as her 3-year-old son is coming for Christmas.

I need a place to go for my family, she said. I have no place [where] he can go.

Jennifer Hayes could relate to Tirel.

I was addicted to drugs and homeless for seven years while I was in Boston, she said. I moved back here eight years ago and moved in with my mom until I saved enough to get my own place. I now rent a home with my fiance.
