RVBA sponsors second candle lighting at Roscoe Village
Three area youth were the honorary candle lighters at the second candle lighting ceremony held at Roscoe Village on Saturday evening, Dec. 8. Chad Miller, representing the Roscoe Village Business Association, the sponsor for the candle lighting, was the announcer for the evening with Sheldon Mencer providing special music. Brad Fuller read a Christmas story and Roscoe United Methodist Church pastor Steve Sullivan gave the invocation. Honorary candle lighters were Clay Holsclaw and Payton Wright representing River View with Jeff Connor representing Ridgewood.
- Candle lightings have special meaning for family: The annual candle lightings at Roscoe Village have special significance to at least one family. The Akins family, from the Wadsworth area, visit Roscoe Village each December to attend one of the candle lightings. The couple became engaged on one of the trips to the candle lighting and it is now a special Christmas tradition for their family.
