Merry and bright time had by all during Warren’s Christmas celebration(Photo special included)

Warren held its community-wide Christmas celebration Sunday with a number of activities throughout the day, December 11, 2022.

The highly popular Market On Main returned for a Christmas version during the early afternoon hours. Local vendors were set up selling everything from hand-made jewelry to hot chocolate. Santa and Mrs. Claus were on site to greet local youngsters hoping to get a final Christmas item added to the wishlist before Christmas Day.

At 5:30 p.m. the annual Warren Christmas Parade began. Sponsored by the Bradley County Chamber of Commerce, the parade was led by grand marshal and Miss Merry Christmas Tabitha White. Several floats, emergency service vehicles, as well as Warren School groups appeared in the parade.

Immanuel Baptist Church presented the Christmas cantata, “All Is Well,” Sunday. The cantata included Warren school choirs under the direction of Katie Kuhn and an orchestra and singers from various churches under the direction of T.J. Files. The cantata was presented again on Monday evening.

Sunday was rounded off with First United Methodist Church holding its Advent Feast. Served was vegetable soup, cornbread and cookies.
