As activities to usher in the festive season heighten, City Hall is not being outdone.
On Wednesday evening, Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green flipped the switch to officially light up the first City Hall Christmas tree on the Merriman’s Mall.
The event featured much high energy and festive steel pan music. It was staged on the Merriman Mall between New Garden and Oronoque Streets, on what is now dubbed “The Children Safe Space”. Scores of children, parents and other family members were in attendance and obviously enjoyed the musical and other entertainment offerings.
Among those expressing gratitude for the move made by City Hall to bring life to the normally desolate section of the city, was promoter Brian ‘Straighty’ Nobrega.
He lauded the efforts of City Hall and expressed heartfelt gratitude that “it is obvious that Georgetown is on the move in the right direction and the tree-lighting surely got the children in the Christmas mood. The merriment was obvious from the prancing and dancing of the many children present.
City Public Relations Officer, Debra Lewis said “the tree lighting is an addition to the aesthetics of the location, and will surely create the atmosphere for children to feel the Christmas spirit of happiness. This is just the beginning of better Christmases to come.”
The play area was created and began operation just over a month ago.
