Letter to Citizens of Blue Ridge – Gingerbread Village Relocated to Senior Center

 

Dear Citizens of Blue Ridge:

 

It was brought to our attention day before yesterday (right before we start construction) that Council Member Angie Arp no longer wants the Gingerbread Village in City Hall.  We understand she thinks there is a security issue at City Hall and she has enlisted the time and cost of getting the city attorney involved to look into this.  Even though the council voted unanimously to allow Light Up Blue Ridge to have the Gingerbread Village at City Hall, and there were no concerns voiced during the council meeting we find this very unfortunate because it would have brought a festive, exciting and joyous element to City Hall.

 

This letter is to formally notify you, the Blue Ridge City Council and the Citizens of Blue Ridge that we will no longer need City Hall for our village.  Hopefully you can call off the services of the city attorney so not to waste any more precious funds.

 

Good news is that Santa Clause arrived early (aka:  Bill Simonds)  and is allowing us to use the Fannin Senior Center for the Village.  The staff there greeted us with open arms and are so thrilled to host the Village so our Senior Citizens can participate in the excitement and joy the village brings.  We have local school children, local restaurants, individual citizens and many businesses participating.  This is one event no one can deny is all about our city and our local citizens.

 

On behalf of the Light Up Blue Ridge committee, we invite all of you to attend the many wonderful holiday events at this year’s Light Up Blue Ridge and we wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.  Please visit our facebook page “Light Up Blue Ridge” and our website www.lightupblueridge.info for the latest updates on events, schedules and festivities.

 

Regards,

 

Cindy
