Roscoe Candlelightings start
COSHOCTON – The annual Christmas candlelighting at Roscoe Village always brings smiles and holiday cheer to all ages. The first candlelighting of the year was no exception, held Dec. 1, with WTNS’ very own Tom Thompson lighting the first candle and sharing a heartwarming story about Christmas as a youth, parent and now grandparent. Here, Thompson lights a child’s candle as those gathered sang the first verse of “Silent Night, O Holy Night” as their candle was lit. The tree in the heart of the village – which always brings “oohs” and “aahs” from the crowd as it comes alive with light – came from the Jim and Patty Mercer property. The couple used to live in the village and always enjoyed seeing the lit tree during the holiday’s and were inspired to provide this year’s tree. There are two more candlelightings in the village, Saturday, Dec. 8 and Saturday, Dec. 15. The event starts at 6 p.m. with music at 5:45 p.m.
