(Heath, December 1, 2012) It may have been one of the warmest November evenings on record, but the Christmas spirit was high as the community celebrated the season at the annual Heath Holiday in the Park on November 30.
Heath Mayor Lorne Liechty hosted the festivities that began with flipping the switch on the Christmas tree and the beautiful lighted vignettes placed throughout Towne Center Park behind City Hall.
Residents were then treated to performances by the Honor choirs of Dorothy Smith Pullen and Amy Parks-Heath Elementary Schools.
After arriving to a joyful greeting and singing a round of Jingle Bells with the choirs, Santa made his way to the Heath Community Room where he told a special story he wrote for the children and posed for family photos.
Everyone enjoyed the hot cocoa, wassail and home-baked Christmas cookies provided by Rockwall Women’s League and National Charity League.
The NCL Ticktocker Class of 2015 graciously served refreshments for the evening.
Children also enjoyed rides around Towne Center Park on a miniature train.
