The Port Elgin Christmas tree in Coulter Parkette had its first touch of holiday sparkle on the morning of November 14, thanks to many little hands from Kids Street Co-operative Nursery School. The preschoolers made their way down Green Street in full snow attire, ready to adorn the bare tree with their homemade snowflake ornaments, preparing it for the Tree Lighting Ceremony that evening.
