THE CHRONICLE
Day one of the Lash/Chronicle Tour
nament provided everything a basketball
fan could want. There were close games,
blow outs, dramatic comebacks and
more. After the dust settled on the first
day of action, Mt. Tabor looks like the
team to beat in the Lash Division, while
North Forsyth looked impressive in the
Chronicle Division. With the top two
seeds in the Chronicle Division (Walk ¬
ertown and Atkins) getting a bye on Day
One, this Saturday could provide some
fireworks.
Christmas for the City

The holiday spirit per
meated the Benton Con
vention Center last Thurs
day evening as thousands

came together to celebrate
Christmas.
For the past decade
Love Out Loud, a local
non-profit, has partnered
with local churches, busi
nesses, and other non-
profits to host Christmas
for the City and this year
the event was bigger than
ever. Imagine the entire
city coming together for a
Christmas party and you
get the idea of Christmas
for the City.
The event had some
thing for everyone. There
were live performances,
arts & crafts, food, ven-
dors, photo opportunities,
and of course, a special
appearance
Clause.
While
from Santa
helping her
grandson at the Cookie
Decorating Station, Te
resa Robinson said it was
her first time attending
Christmas for the City but
it wouldn’t be her last.
Robinson said, “I think it
is great that we have some
thing where everyone can
celebrate the holidays.
There are people here from
all walks of life and that’s
what the holidays are all
about - coming together.”
