Residents of AuGres have a weekend of tree lighting ceremonies and holiday festivities to look forward to. The annual AuGres Chamber Tree Lighting and Parade of Lights will be held Saturday the 26th after a number of holiday festivities throughout the day.
At 3:00 pm, free carriage rides will be offered at the AuGres-Sims High School courtesy of the Royal Carriage Company. The rides are new this year and will last about 20 minutes, going along Michigan Avenue.
At 5:30 pm, caroling at the corner of US-23 and Michigan Avenue will begin, followed by the tree lighting ceremony at the same intersection.
Afterwards, the parade will move from the tree lighting to the city pavilion on North Main St, where AuGres city firefighters will be providing hot cocoa and H & H Bakery will offer donut holes.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will meet the crowd at the pavilion after a carriage takes them through the parade, drawings will be held to provide hams and nuts for adults and board games and video rentals for children.
The AuGres Chamber of Commerce is the sponsor for this year's event.
