We are truly blessed in the City of Baxley to have a city council and the Baxley-Appling County Chamber of Commerce that both enjoy promoting our community. Last week there were several events that provided perfect examples of self-promotion.
The City of Baxley hosted the annual Christmas in the Park on Wednesday evening. Even though the event had to be moved inside due to weather, the event was well attended and enjoyed by all in attendance. Guests were treated to a variety of Christmas songs, scripture readings and a message of encouragement to set the tone for the season in our community.
As the week advanced into the weekend, it was time for the chamber’s annual Christmas parade held in downtown Baxley and of course Winter Wonderland, hosted by the city and chamber. Thousands turned out for the annual events that are always enjoyed by the young and the young at heart.
The News-Banner expresses appreciation to the mayor and council of the City of Baxley, the Baxley-Appling County Chamber of Commerce and all the volunteers and workers who make these events possible. These types of events bring our community together to make us a stronger and more united community.
