KENNEDY -Christmas has arrived in Kennedy.
The Memory Gardens are dressed in their seasonal finery. Volunteers from the Memory Gardens Committee decorated the gardens in late November.
There are numerous little spots and groupings to enjoy or take the whole scene in and marvel at the glow that shimmers in the evening. The public is invited to come out and spend a bit of time walking the gardens.
The weather is certainly mild and the committee hopes that you do stop by with a hot cocoa in hand to see their Christmas spirit sparkle. Take a tour around the village and enjoy many sparkling homes as well.
The Friendship Centre played host to nearly 100 individuals, including volunteers, at the annual Kennedy Christmas dinner. The Kennedy Rodeo Association held the dinner for the village to raise funds for this coming year’s rodeo and events.
Volunteers prepared a feast for the attendees to enjoy. Each person or family attending was asked to bring at least one item for the food-bank in Kipling. The donations were delivered to most-appreciative Kipling food-bank volunteers.
The Kennedy Langbank School held its annual Christmas concert for a full house of admirers. Students from kindergarten-Grade 7 performed short plays, recited verse and sang to welcome all who attended. The students all enjoyed the chance to share their talents that they have been honing for the last month or so. Smiles and Christmas greetings were all around and everyone left feeling the joy and excitement of the children.
The village of Kennedy reminds everyone that the village suppers will begin in January in support of the rink. It’s a great opportunity to further the spirit of Kennedy even after the tinsel comes down.
