We don’t have to look back to far to look for happenings in December. We haven’t yet ended the month.
Plant City kicked off the holiday season in style with the heavily-attended Lights of Love and Plant City Christmas Parade. It didn’t take long for residents to get into the giving spirit, as residents, business owners and civic organizations kicked it into high gear to help make Christmas dreams come true for hundreds of local children and families. Cops went shopping for local schoolchildren. The Plant City Black Heritage and Des’Aimes Social Club hosted the Santa Sled Festival. The holiday spirit was palpable as people thought of others before themselves.
