The annual Barry’s Bay Tree of Lights ceremony is one week away.
Executive Director of the St Francis Valley Health Care Foundation, Toni Lavigne-Conway says over 3000 letters have been sent to community members asking them to participate. The foundation is looking to raise $75 000 this year in order to purchase 15 new IV pumps for the St Francis Memorial Hospital.
Lavigne-Conway says that when you donate, you can choose to get a light bulb which can be dedicated to a special person. That same light will then be included in the tree of lights that will be lit up in the ceremony at 6:00 on Friday night at the Barry’s Bay Railway Station. She also says the ceremony will include horse-drawn wagon rides, a balloon artist as well as snack and refreshments. She told us that the holiday season will be officially kicked off as Moonlight Madness will also be happening that night.
