Guests will then have an opportunity to move inside to the Century Village concourse for light refreshments and an opportunity to meet team members, obtain autographs, and have their photo taken in a Senators jersey. Prizes will be drawn prior to attendees being encouraged to take a stroll along the downtown streets and view the wonderfully decorated and lighted Christmas trees and visit the shops who have gone all out to awash the downtown with the spirit of the season.
