Christmas in Hopelands a great holiday hit in Aiken
Aiken city gardens hosted the Christmas in Hopelands program conceived by the City Recreation Department with support from the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce. Volunteers from seniors groups and local churches helped install lights and scenes including two swan figures on Hopeland lake. The event, originally planned for one week, ran a second week as crowds grew, with City Recreation Director Terry Rhinehart Michaela Berley and Chamber President June Murff receiving praise for their roles. The sponsors intend it to become an annual holiday event attracting residents from suburbs and beyond to a park between downtown and southside shopping centers.
