White Pines, CA…The Inaugural Christmas in White Pines Celebration & Parade of Lights was held on November 27. The Parade lighted Blagen Rd. as it rolled towards White Pines Park. Attendees were invited to stroll down Blagen Rd and enjoy the 75′ Christmas Tree. Blagen Rd was decorated in Lights. Christmas Carols by the Big Trees Community Bible Church Future Owners of Cottage Springs Resort, Dick and Jeanette provided popcorn and hot dogs. Proceeds will be donated to the White Pines Park Committee. This was a great new event on the local holiday schedule and hopefully it will continue to grow, thrive and become a community tradition

The only glitch in the evening was the horse from the horse and carriage carrying Santa slipped and fell on the ice. This delayed the start of the parade for about 1/2 an hour. But last word was the horse was not seriously injured.
