The Windsor/ Bertie Chamber wishes everyone to eryoy the holiday season. This year’s Christmas events have not been back to normal, but have been a step in the right direction. We had a Christmas parade and are having carriage rides this month as part of the Christmas festivities. The Christmas parade was held on Dec. 2 with less entries than normal. The crowd was festive and lined the streets of Wind sor. Our band participation was limited by COVID-19, but the Bertie High School Band did perform for our citizens. A break in the parade caused by a slow-moving entry, may have covered up that fact that we had less entries then normal. Santa visited the town from the back of the Wind sor Fire Department tmck. The Christmas parade Chamber Chatter Lewis Hoggard is successful by having the Bertie County come together with the town of Windsor and also due to Bertie Coimty Schools letting out early every year. We would like to thank Bertie Superintendent Otis Smallwood, Bertie Coxmty Manager Juan Vaughan, Windsor’s Board of Commissioners and the town employees for their help. Everyone has to work together for events to be able to happen. Our carriage tides are returning next week on Tliesday and Thursday, Dec. 14 and 16. The rides will begin on King Street in front of the Bertie Arts Cormcil, which will be open. J.T. Hoggard, Vincent Bunch, Robert Myers and Roger Manning have been entertaining our riders the last ten years as they drive the horses through the streets of Windsor. The rides will occur between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. each night. The horses are well-mannered and beau tiful. Especially those per- cheron horses which were originally used as draft horses and originated in France. Nice to see them walk ing through downtown Windsor and we hope folks will come out and eryoy the rides. Kids sixteen and rmder ride free, while adults pay $10. We haven’t added all of our Christmas events back but we are getting there. The Hoggard Lights should be checked out especially since there is talk of this year being the last year. The lights are a wonderful attraction to Windsor by outside visitors. Let’s hope that we can find a way to keep this attraction continuing in our community. Everyone be safe over the holidays and try to remember the reason for the season. Kindness costs you nothing. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!
