Christmas cheer took over Plant City to end 2019 on a high note.
From the official start of Plant City’s holiday season with Lights of Love to big-time events like the Plant City Christmas Parade, Christmas Lane opening its annual light show extraordinaire at the Florida Strawberry Festival Grounds, celebrations like Santa and the Red Caboose at the train depot, Holidays on the Farm at Keel Farms, Holiday Crafts and Cocoa at the Plant City Family YMCA and the Mystery Christmas Build at Brick City Bricks, plus events like Santa Sled Fest that gave back to the community and much more, anyone who wandered into town could tell right away that Plant City takes its Christmastime very seriously.
In less holiday-centric news, City Hall’s renovation and Hurricane Irma expenses were settled. Elements of the Downtown Vision Plan were discussed at length and commissioners agreed to start implementing some of them. Plant City Police and Fire Rescue personnel were honored with annual awards at the Elks Lodge.
