New Bridge has their on the corner of Central and 10th, as you can see pictured here.

Giant Snowflake

Nathan Allan, ENA Board Member and Innkeeper at the Swantown Inn is championing lighting up Central Street for the holidays.

The church has loosely made an offer to help with the lights, with one of their members who built the original snowflake willing to help us replicate and improve on the original.

If you are at all interested in attending a workshop and helping to build at least a couple more, please reach out to Nathan via email at na****@sw*********.com, or he is also creating a Facebook Event for an informational session on November 16th at 10am at the Swantown Inn’s Grand Victorian Ballroom.
