Dwight Gets Bright

Yesterday evening Dwight got together to Light up the Night, turning on the Christmas tree lights and welcoming in the season with Carol singers (including our perennial favourites, the Muskoka Music Men!).





Inside, there were hot drinks, plenty of goodies from the area bakeries and the Friends of the Library, a penny sale, representatives of Family Services from the District, and in general a crush of happy people.

Across the way at the School, the Open House welcomed parents and friends alike, and the children were proud to show off their projects, and present an evening of entertainment.

Congratulations go to the Friends of the Library, and to the hard-working Librarians who make not only our Dwight Library but our entire Community so special. Last summer, they worked hard to bring the Community Garden and Book Nook to completion, and this season they were determined not to let an opportunity pass by to get the entire Community into the Spirit of the Season.

Lights went on all over Dwight. Several of the shops opened up, or stayed open late, with some great Christmas deals on offer.  At the Dwight Garden Centre, Santa himself was on hand -- with Linda acting as the "trusty elf" for the evening!

What a lovely start to the season, to see the lights glittering and glowing against the snow!  It is the small things, the events like this, that are at the heart of any community, and Dwight, well, you done yourselves proud!
