Gibbon kick-starts holiday festivities with fanfare at the park

Thu, 12/08/2022 - 12:00am

Gibbon’s first annual Christmas in the Park was a well attended and huge success. The Saturday event started with a holiday market, ornament making, hay rack rides, and plenty of cider and hot chocolate. The annual Holiday Storybook Walk was hosted by the Gibbon Public Library and Gibbon Fire Hall was the site of a delicious soup supper on the chilly evening. After the introduction by Mayor Deb VanMatre, the lights were on, and Santa made his arrival. Christmas caroling proceeded the announcement of the winning decorated Christmas tree … produced by the Gibbon Volunteer Fire Department! More pictures from the event are on page 6, and on our website photo gallery.
