ABIA offers residents a ‘Hometown Christmas’ By Wendy Gabrek The Alliston Business Improvement Association (ABIA) held its annual ‘Hometown Christmas’ extravaganza last Saturday in downtown Alliston. The event included live reindeer (direct from the North Pole), hot chocolate, cookie decorating, photos with Santa (at Bern’s Flowers), face painting and local shopping specials. Besides the live animals, the highlight of the event was the annual tree lighting at Mill Street and Victoria Street at 5 p.m. The tree, donated by Drysdale’s, was decorated with white lights and red bulbs decorated by local children. At the event, Mayor Mike MacEachern lit his final tree as the Mayor of New Tecumseth and children in attendance couldn’t have been more delighted with the way the tree looked against the night sky. Following the ABIA’s Hometown Christmas, the Rotary Club of Alliston held its annual Night Lit Santa Claus Parade, with more than 30 businesses participating by entering floats and throwing candies to the children who lined the main street.
