To the editor:
The University of Maine at Presque Isle has again joined forces with the Presque Isle Area Chamber of Commerce for the Annual Holiday Light Parade on Saturday, December 6. Prior to the parade start, the President’s House, 171 Main Street, will be open at 6:30 p.m. At 6:45 p.m. we will flip the switch and light up the magnificent evergreen in the front yard that will greet the parade floats when they start their 7 p.m. procession up Main Street to campus.
Action will then move outdoors to parade watching. When the parade floats reach campus, the festivities will move over to Gentile Hall for hot coffee, hot chocolate and cookies. All parade participants and spectators are invited and encouraged to come inside to warm up, enjoy hot beverages and snacks, and join us in celebrating the start of the Holiday Season in Presque Isle. We’ll highlight some of the events of this Fall at campus and preview some of what comes next semester. We’ll also give tours of Gentile Hall for those who haven’t been inside before.
Please plan to join us at the University. Dress for all events is warm and casual. We’ll see you on December 6.
Don Zillman,
president
