SOMERS POINT— Santa arrived along Bay Avenue Wednesday, Dec 8, to help usher in the holiday season with local residents and members of Somers Point Community First.
Twenty-five Christmas trees from Huffman Farms and Greenhouses now twinkle brightly in the evening on the block of Bay Avenue between New York Avenue and Medical Center Way. The trees were decorated by local businesses, community groups, several families and departments at Shore Medical Center.
“We wanted to bring some holiday sparkle to the bayfront and our friends and volunteers jumped in to be a part of this very festive effort,” said Kathy Ciboldi, a founding member of Somers Point Community First.
Somers Point Community First is a volunteer community-based organization that leverages its committee members’ resources to promote and inspire the community and continue to make Somers Point the place to live, work and play.
The participants who decorated trees include Josie Kelly’s Public House, Shore Revenue Cycle Team, Surgical Services, Somers Point Community First, Somers Point Mom Squad, Huffman Farms and Greenhouses, Republic Bank, Green Thumb Garden Club, Compass Real Estate, Lifegate Church, Mainland Living Magazine, Ruth Newman Shapiro Cancer and Heart Fund and Mark Fabi and family.
Also contributing their effort to the tree decorating and helping to make Bay Avenue merry and bright are The Anchorage, Unidine Nutritional Services, Somers Point Republican Club, Coastal Christian, Shamrock Marine Towing/Towboat U.S., Shore Local, Advanced Shore Imaging, Shana, Greg and Vivian DiGiacinto, Somers Point Historical Society, Passion Vines, St. Joseph’s Regional School and the Wyatt Strong Foundation.
Everyone is invited to check the trees out. They will remain lit through the holidays.
