GLADWIN â If you were in downtown Gladwin between 4:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. on December 18 through December 23, you may have seen a group of people strolling along caroling. The Dickens Downtown event hosted by the Gladwin County Chamber of Commerce featured a host lamplighter each evening. The lamplighter dressed in Victorian attire, lit the lights in each of the lanterns from the Country Corner Bulk Foods store to Riverwalk Place and back to the Hall-Kokotovich Funeral Home.Â
The host lamplighters were Cory Barz, Chamber Board Member and Chair; Sydney Compton, Miss Beaverton; Bret Robertson, owner of Gladwin Family Pharmacy; President Tim Hood, Mid Michigan College; Bob Balzer, Chamber Board Member and Gladwin County EDC Director; and Lara Steele, realtor for 989 Real Estate.Â
The annual Christmas Afloat lighted boat parade is among the holiday events in the Tuscaloosa area that are taking the year off because of the pandemic.
Christmas Afloat joins Dickens Downtown, the West Alabama Christmas Parade, the Holiday Singalong, and performances of The Nutcracker in deciding to press pause, and leaving the 2020 holidays a little less bright.
The Pirates of the Warrior non-profit group brought Christmas Afloat back in 2015, following four years off, after devastation from the 2011 tornadoes took out roughly 100 boats at adjacent marinas Eagle Cove and Hideway Harbor. The first parade rolled out in 1990, and ran every year until 2011. Since its return, Christmas Afloat has usually featured two dozen or so decorated boats.
