A Celebration of Community and Local Spirit
This amazing ceremony is brought to you by the Greater Cayce West Columbia Chamber of Commerce and Lexington Medical Center. Hallie Campbell, the chamber’s sponsorship coordinator, shared, “This ceremony began as a reflection of the Greater CWC Chamber’s commitment to supporting small businesses.” The event is a wonderful way to spotlight the importance of shopping local and supporting our neighbors. Plus, it marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season, which is always a big deal!
During the event, if you look closely, you might just see the representatives from Lexington Medical Center as they ceremoniously flip the switch to light up the Greater CWC Chamber Office. Imagine the building first glowing a lovely green in honor of LMC, and then transforming into dazzling, vibrant holiday colors! It’s the kind of sight that will make your heart swell with cheer.
Words of Wisdom from Mayor Tem Miles
But wait! There’s more. The festivities will include an inspiring address from the one and only Mayor Tem Miles. He’ll be sharing his thoughts on community, the necessity of supporting local businesses, and capturing the true spirit of the season. It’s a perfect reminder that we’re all in this together, especially during a time of giving and joy.
Melodic Performances to Warm Hearts
And because it wouldn’t be a proper holiday celebration without music, expect some delightful performances from the talented students of the Cyril B. Busbee Creative Arts Academy Choir and the Airport High School Choir. They’ll be filling the air with sweet melodies as they perform classic holiday songs that are sure to get everyone in the mood to celebrate!
