Hello all,  my heart is full of Christmas Joy after Friday’s Light Up Night.  There were so many families and children of all ages down town having fun. It was a great pleasure to see the reason we did the Plaza and Stage at work..

Next year we will have the arches on the stage thanks to Sabre Tubular Structures, they are making them here in Ellwood City and donating them.( the arches will hold the lights for the stage ) .

We have the security cameras ( already up ) because of a gift from Shell Oil.

A big thank you goes out to Lisa Fox for wanting to see the light Up Night come back to our down town.  She asked some of  the ECR Stage committee and the Chamber to work together.They made it all  happen in a very short time.

The committee : Gary and Lisa Fox, Terri Stramba, Gary Jackson , John & Betty DeLoia, Mike Poff
