New Ross Christmas Festival


On Saturday, December 8th, I spent the day in the New Ross area attending some of the events that were part of the 19th annual New Ross Christmas Festival. It's a great way to get you into the Christmas spirit and a testament to the strong community spirit of the New Ross area. I met one Halifax parent who has brought his children to the festival every year. As the organizers say, the festival is "where family traditions grow". Congratulations to the organizers and dedicated volunteers who make everyone feel welcome and instill some Christmas spirit in all of us.
