Holiday scenes on the Avenue

Last night the Avenue was packed. I never saw so many people in one spot--families and dogs--all there to enjoy the entertainment and the lighting of the tree. Andy Amoroso and the entire team consisting of the CRA, Downtown Cultural Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce that continues to be political and The City of Lake Worth--they all did one spectacular job.

The Mayor presented the $500 check to Lake Worth Jewelers for the best holiday window display. He and his wife Tanya had walked up and down Lake and Lucerne on Friday in order to choose a winner. If you haven't yet seen their beautiful window, stop by.

Don't forget our holiday parade next Saturday at 6pm.

Holiday on the Avenue 2010

Last night, prior to the lighting of the tree, there was some controversy regarding the date of the tree lighting. Susan Stanton said it was to be last night, and it was (and she should know) but the City web page says the following:
