Edwardsville plans annual holiday tree lighting
November 24, 2008
The Edwardsville holiday tree lighting ceremony has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25, at the Fire Station located at 698 S. 4th Street. Choirs from local schools will be entertaining and the "Emergency Operations Command Unit" will be set up for public viewing. Come and enjoy cookies, hot chocolate and an open house at the fire station. Santa Claus will also be present to visit with children.
Phyllis Freeman, Edwardsville city clerk, asked that those attending bring canned food items for the Vaughn-Trent Holiday Baskets.
“It’s a good way to bring the community together and make everyone aware of folks out there that need extra help,” she said.

Point of View
The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
