Festive Events Planned for This Weekend in Wawa

Wawa's getting into the festive season this weekend.

Municipal Recreation Coordinator Stacey White notes tonight marks the beginning of the annual Festival of Lights decoration contest.

White reminds votes can be cast online or by dropping them off at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre Pro Shop - maps of participating homes are likewise available online, through Wawa Recreation on social media, or at the "Bundle Up! Market" being held this weekend.

White is also excited for the market, noting a "really good lineup" for four separate markets this weekend, offering a chance for some Christmas shopping.

White also notes there'll be a special guest at each market: Santa Claus.

The "Bundle Up! Market" will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm tonight, 1 pm to 3 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm Saturday, and 1 pm to 3 pm Sunday, at the Goose Nest Market in downtown Wawa.

White also reminds the deadline to register for the December 16th Santa Claus Parade is December 10th, just over a week away.
