Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the
Verona Town Board, will hold his 9th Annual Holiday Party for all Town of Verona residents on Sunday,
December 2nd from 1pm to 3pm at the Verona Fire Hall (5555 Volunteer
Ave.) in Verona. Preceding the holiday party
will be a mini parade starting at 12:30pm from the Verona Fire Hall, going
through Virdon Village via Merry St., east on
Route 31 to Main Street past J. D. George Elementary School and onto Volunteer Ave. back to the Verona Fire Hall.
Folks are encouraged to line the parade route to wave to Santa Claus as he
makes his way to the event.
“The last eight years I’ve held this community
event, it’s been a success because of the big crowd of children and adults that attended,
as well as the volunteers, businesses, and media that helped,” said
Scherz. “To me, it’s a Christmas party, as my
family enjoys celebrating that holiday. However, I call it a holiday party as I
want folks who don’t celebrate Christmas to know
that they are still welcome to attend. Although I’m not finished putting
together the complete fun-filled lineup of
activities and guests, as with prior years I plan on having kid-oriented
activities, such as arts, crafts, painting, musicians, and more!
There’ll be story telling by some special guests, too. Family-oriented fun will
continue to be part of this holiday
event, including face painting by Bingo & Dingo (clowns) and there will be
an increased presence of live music. Hopefully, Santa
Claus will take time out of his busy schedule to attend. I also want people to
know that as with the last eight years I’ve
held this event, no town funds are being used for it whatsoever as this is not
a government-based event. I encourage all
residents of Verona, no matter what your age is, to stop by and take part in
the festivities!”
The Holiday Party for all Town of
Verona residents has free admission and snacks will also be available. If able, attendees
are asked to bring a canned good, as a collection will be taken and given to
the Verona Food Pantry. For more details,
