Look for the 12 days of Christmas, starting now

Nov 11, 2020

A number of groups and organisations in the Sharbot Lake area, with co-ordination from the Caremongering Sharbot Lake Facebook group and Villages Beautiful, are stepping into the Christmas void with a series of events, starting in late November and running into December.

It is not quite 12 days in a row, and when it is all said and done there will likely be 13 or 14 events, but the more the merrier, say organisers.

One of the events, a house decorating contest, is getting underway now, as soon as anyone decides to start decorating their house for the season. The Oso Recreation Committee will be judging the houses, and there will be prizes for winners in various categories.

12 days if Arts and Crafts, an online sale starting on November 23 is being organised by Debbie Emery and Betty Hunter.

Other events include a tree lighting and luminaries event in Sharbot Lake on December 4, a dreamcatcher fundraiser from the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation, a drive by Santa event, Christmas Cookies, a virtual production of a Christmas Carol by North Frontenac Little Theatre, a virtual caroling event, and much more.

All of the details will be posted at the Caremongering Sharbot Lake Facebook page over the next couple of weeks. Many of the events are virtual, of course, and are therefore available for everyone to share, regardless of where they live.
