Virginia Gay Tree of Lights campaign begins with Initial Lighting
For 19 years, Virginia Gay Hospital leaders have been lighting the evergreen tree outside the front lobby for the annual Tree of Lights campaign.
Looking back on the first event 19 years, ago, VGH Hospital Board Chairman Mark Mossman noticed a change that makes the event a little more logistically challenging than it was then:
"That tree is a lot bigger than it used to be," he told the audience during the initial tree lighting Thursday evening. Lions raise funds for Honor Flight with chili supper
It is fitting that one of the first few customers at the Vinton Lions Club chili supper Thursday evening was David Schirm of Vinton.
Schirm, a World War II veteran, wore a red shirt and white cap to the Vinton Fire Station for the event. They were the same shirt and cap he wore in September when he was one of 100 veterans from eastern Iowa to fly to Washington, D. Patriotic Parade combines Christmas, tribute to veterans
The second annual Patriotic Veterans Christmas Parade featured more entries and a larger crowd of spectators than the debut event of 2009. Approximately 20 floats or vehicles rolled through downtown Vinton, many of them with red, white and blue lights and flags as well as Christmas trees.
Legion Commander Craig Streeter had one of the more interesting entries. Santa Arrives! Downtown Vinton enters holiday season
Vinton's children had their first glimpse of Santa Claus on Thursday evening, first as they watched him ride on a fire truck in the Second Annual Patriotic Veterans Christmas Parade, and then inside the Benton County Courthouse.
After joining local leaders for the tree lighting, Santa went into the courthouse, where he listened as children told them they'd been good and asked for specific gifts. VU seeking your opinion
