The Eagle Bay community once again came together to hold its annual, old fashioned, Tree Lighting Ceremony at the community Christmas tree located on the side of the new Eagle Bay Welcome Center at the corner of Big Moose Rd. and Rte 28 in Eagle Bay.
Front Row, from left: Bonnie Amidon, Joan Breisch; 2nd Row: Annette Scheidelman, Kathy Beauchamp, Santa Claus, Sandy Booton. 3rd Row: JoAnn Zurakowski, Ellie Stanton, Andi Smith, Penny Beach.
This annual yuletide event, sponsored by the Eagle Bay Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and the Town of Webb was held at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 7th.
Traditional Christmas caroling around the live Christmas Tree led by Andi and Ray Smith was a big hit with the crowd and was then followed by the traditional push-of-the-switch which lit up the beautiful, huge, Christmas tree.
A potluck supper with delicious food and refreshments followed at the Eagle Bay Fire Hall. Live entertainment was also provided at the fire hall by Ray Smith who played his guitar. Ray was joined by his wife Andi and neighbors Sandy Booton and Annette Scheidelman who sang Christmas songs to entertain the huge crowd.
After a delicious meal, Annette Scheidelman read the “Night Before Christmas” to all the children and, as promised, Santa Claus arrived on the scene to pass out gifts to all the good little girls and boys.
