New organizer needed for Christmas in the Village
The Christmas in the Village home tour has been a fund-raiser held
in Tiverton for the past eight years, on the odd year, alternating
with the event in Kincardine. It began in 2001 with the intention of
raising money to bring Tiverton's main street back to its former
glory.
The Municipality of Kincardine then jumped onboard, paving the way
for the new downtown streetscape in Tiverton, the wonderful gardens
and planters that are maintained by the Communities in Bloom
committee, and now the completion of St. Andrews Park. Downtown
Tiverton has never looked better.
Over the years, funds raised by Christmas in the Village were used
to support Communities in Bloom in its endeavours and to purchase
some of the benches seen around the village. Hundreds of people have
enjoyed the tour, with almost 30 homes in the village being shown.
However, with the downtown and the rest of the village looking so
good, there is no further need for the fund-raiser. If another group
is interested in organizing the Christmas in the Village to raise
funds, contact Michelle Lamont at 519-368-5350.

Appreciation goes out to all the homeowners who allowed
their homes to be part of the tour and to everyone who bought a ticket
in support of Christmas in the Village. You helped make Tiverton what it
is today!
