On Sunday night, in Kampsville, it was definitely the place to be. The First Annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Kampsville officially kicked off the holidays in the village.
Veterans Park was lit up for the holidays. There was Christmas music playing and a hot chocolate bar, with whip cream, marshmallows, sprinkles and candy canes to keep everyone fueled as they celebrated in the cool night air. The night was filled with fun, lots of laughs from family and neighbors and lots of memories were being made. People in Kampsville can now enjoy a beautiful display of lights all because Trustees, Dennis Johnson, Rob Parameter, the royalty, committee members James Palmer, Marcia Agney and Debby Klunk helped make this beautiful display of holiday cheer for the village.
Agney was the official person who got to light up the big tree. She was very happy in her contribution to this magnanimous occasion..She expressed her joyfulness in a posting on Facebook.
“My heart is full and I want to thank everyone who helped make this possible! And everyone who came out to watch our first official tree lighting. It was so fun and it brought so much joy to me ,seeing all the families .We have officially lit up Kampsville and this is what Christmas is all about!” Agney said.
