Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Mannville and District Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Christmas Extravaganza on Dec. 4. Organizers Erin Hinton and Shauna Charron said it was so great to have Christmas activities in the community. They were grateful to the volunteers who contributed their time and talents to make the event a success. Having a Christmas Market was a great way for local vendors to showcase their products and services and a wonderful opportunity for residents and visitors alike to shop local. There were 27 vendors and a steady stream of customers throughout the day. Hinton said the event was very well received. “We cancelled last year due to Covid. Everyone seemed happy to have some normalcy and enjoyed shopping locally. Admission to get in was a donation to either our local food bank or Santa’s Anonymous,
between the two organizations we raised over $500 in monetary donations. As well, there were many food bank items donated.” Santa visited with over 35 families. Hinton and Charron expressed their gratitude to the local businesses who donated items for the Christmas bags for all of the children who came out to skate with Santa. Children also had the opportunity to have their photos taken with Santa, which brought a lot of joy to them and their families. “This event has been hosted in our community for well over 25 years. It’s always a favourite of our community that everyone looks forward to,” added Hinton.
