CHRISTMAS LIGHTS 2017
Waterville Tidy Towns are to put up 3 Christmas trees in the village this year. One 20ft tree at the Grotto, one at the Butlers Monument and one at Concannons Garage. The Grotto is getting new lights and the Christmas Crib is to be rebuilt also. This is the first step towards the new Christmas Lighting initiative in Waterville over the next few years.
Waterville Tidy Towns would like to ask all Businesses & Residents in the village to make a Big effort this year to light up their own buildings with outside lighting preferably, if possible. Lets all work together to make Waterville a Bright, Festive village this Christmas Season. Waterville Tidy Towns.
