OPERATION SNOWFLAKE
PRIDE is purchasing 18 five foot
diameter snowflakes to hang from the downtown commercial light poles
during holiday season. As you are probably aware, the decorations we are
currently using are over 15 years old and really showing their age. Most
did not survive this year on the poles.The cost to sponsor a snow flake
is $265.00. You will receive a sponsorship certificate for the snow
flake you donate and it will be given to you at the Annual Tree Lighting
Ceremony. Snow flake sponsorship may be in memory of a loved one. For
more information on operation snowflake call Pride at 379-3388.

After suspending the program
for a while, P.R.I.D.E. is now back delivering welcome bags to
all new homeowners who purchase a home in Paxton and a 1.5 mile
radius around the town. The bag includes all kinds of
community information and is overflowing with discount coupons
and free stuff from Paxton merchants. Homeowners must be new

If you own a business and
would like to participate, there is no charge for P.R.I.D.E.

the fee is only $5.00 per bag delivered. You'll be
welcoming new customers to town and promoting your business at
the same time.
