There Are Angels Among Us!
The Water Bar at the Hall of Waters during the annual Christmas Kick-off Celebration, a holiday event sponsored by the Christmas Committee of the Excelsior Springs Chamber. Featured above, the opening of the Festival of Trees with giant cookies made and served by the Excelsior Springs Job Corps Culinary Arts Department. The Festival of Trees surrounds the Water Bar and are displayed through January 2.
The Community Christmas Committee is responsible for organizing the community events and holiday displays that make Excelsior Springs a magical place during the holiday season. In fact, Excelsior Springs was recently honored by the President of the United States as one of 26 Preserved America Cities; our annual Festival of Trees played a significant role in bringing that recognition to our town.
We cannot do it without your help! We hope you'll volunteer to help with one of our events, but remember, just attending our events helps to continue this wonderful Excelsior Springs tradition of decorating and celebrating the holidays through an all volunteer effort!
