The tree in Grove Park, located at 1105 DeSoto Blvd. here in Hot Springs Village, will be lit for all to enjoy. A canned food drive is an ongoing event that will take place at the Ponce de Leon Center through January 8th. To start this drive, everyone is encouraged to donate canned food to the tree-lighting event.
A special production of the Nutcracker, presented by the Hot Springs Children's Dance Theatre Company, will be held after the lighting of the tree at 7:30 p.m., so if interested, you can get tickets here. The tickets cost $25 for adults and $15 for students.

The Village Employees Benefit Fund has existed since 1999 and has been a resource that helps put our Village workers when needed. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Fund. Initially, the Fund was created to say “Thanks” to employees after an ice storm hit the Village that year. The gift was given at Christmastime and, at that time, was only a small gift of $16 per employee. Over the years, the fund has grown, and the group has been able to provide annual Christmas stipends to both full-time and part-time employees. The Fund has also been able to give small amounts of money to employees on a need basis at certain times throughout the years, which has been greatly appreciated. This year, they hope to do the same as in previous years. Please consider donating.
