Pembroke brings in the Christmas spirit with community event

Rain didn’t stop Pembroke from getting in the Christmas spirit Tuesday night.

Christmas in the park was moved into the old gym and a good crowd turned out for the festivities. Mayor Judy Peterson says they were glad to see so many neighbors talking together and getting a chance to meet Mr. and Mrs. Claus, who were on hand to hear Christmas wishes and joys.

Peterson says that’s what this event is all about—bringing everyone together as a community, especially as they continue to recover from the December 10 and 11 tornado that hit Pembroke.

Attendees sang carols, enjoyed some Christmas treats, and overall just welcomed the holiday season and each other into the community.
