Starlight Shopping in the Village of Marcellus
Twinkles!

For Immediate Release(December 9, 2007):
It was a wonderful start to the holiday season last
Thursday night in the

Village of Marcellus. While villagers and
townspeople gathered like a family around the
Christmas tree to officially light it for the season,
Santa hitched a ride into town with the Marcellus
Volunteer Fire Department.

Members of the Marcellus High School Select
Chorus, led by Mr. Brian Ackles, sang holiday
carols as all gathered applauded the achievements
of our Marcellus High School athletes: the Section
Three Champion Boys’ and Girls’ Varsity Soccer
Teams and Marcellus Cross Country Champions
and honorary tree lighters, Chris Stogsdill,
Carrie Carlton and Ariel Briggs. Town father,
Brud Wilson, served as emcee.

Steamy, creamy hot chocolate was brewed by
the capable elves of the Marcellus Optimist Club
at the Ralph Share American Legion Hall which
hosted Santa so the children of the area could
bend his ear about their holiday wishes and
munch on delicious home-made cookies donated
by local merchants.

The Marcellus merchants were all abuzz with
dozens of Starlight shoppers filling their stores.
Those participating in the Starlight Shopping Pass
contest exceeded expectations of organizers.

certificates:
