The Dresden community is coming together to make the town brighter than ever. Dresden Shines is a collaboration of several community groups and organizations that will be decorating homes and businesses with lights and hosting a series of safe, family-friendly activities throughout the holiday season. Organizers say with large events like the Dresden Christmas Night Market placed on hold during the pandemic, volunteers were motivated to bring the community together with an ambitious goal to decorate as many buildings as possible. Co-organizer Stuart Kiar says the idea came to him after the May 16th Miracle. More information will be available on Facebook, Instagram (@DresdenShines), and on www.dresden.ca. Anyone interested in volunteering or sponsoring the event can e-mail the organizing team at: DresdenShines@dresden.ca.
