Bay Village Celebrates an Olde-Fashioned Christmas

The Christmas spirit came alive in Bay Village as the Bay Village Historical Society and the Bay Village Kiwanis teamed to present an old-fashioned community Christmas on Sunday, Dec. 2.

As a kickoff to the holiday season, the event included the reading of holiday stories, caroling and crafts for kids in the Bay Village Community House, the Kiwanis Christmas tree sale, a visit by Santa Claus and the lighting of the community tree in the Cahoon Memorial Park gazebo.

Santa Claus left the Bay Lodge on a fire truck at 2 p.m. and arrived at the Community House about 3:30 p.m. The Bay High Choraleers shared holiday tunes, the Fairytale Foundation provided photo opportunities and there was a reading of, “’Twas the Night before Christmas.” The tree lighting took place at the gazebo at 4:30 p.m. and Bay Village Community Theatre presented a full production of the holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol,” at 5:30 p.m. in the Community House.
