A new report states that about 300 people stepped out of their homes to take part in Vienna Lightening Ceremony on the eve of Christmas season. Linda Kern, organizer of the ceremony, said that this ceremony was on hold from past two or three years because of bad weather conditions. But, this ceremony has again been started on request by the community residents to enjoy the festive season.
Kern said at the Vienna Community Building in Jackson Memorial Park that she is hoping to continue celebrating this ceremony every year. This ceremony took place on Tuesday and was welcomed with beautiful words from local dignitaries. Along with this, some musical performances were also there by school going students from Greenmont, Neal and Vienna Elementary schools and from Jackson Middle School.
At the end of the ceremony, some cookies and refreshment was also served to the residents of the community building. Jeremy Davis, Vienna's resident, attended the ceremony with his two sons to enjoy the lightening around Jackson Park.
Davis said that he is happy to be the part of this ceremony as it brings people closer and they can spend some time together out of their busy schedules. "Having something in Vienna gives people an opportunity to see a lot more of things around town", said Davis.
