The annual Barriere Christmas Tree lite up and caroling in Fadear Park at the Bandshell, Dec. 12, was very well attended by area families and individuals. Santa made a grand appearance, the Grade 7 class ran the craft table and the concession, and Charlie Kibble provided the microphones and sound. Barrels were kept full of burning logs for hand and butt warming, and aside from some fog the weather was pleasant.
