Santa will

be on hand with candy canes for each child as he entertains their Christmas

wishes. But he won't be the only entertainment by a long shot.

A chorus from

Oak Grove Elementary School will be on hand to serenade the crowd, and

Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran Church will have its boys youth choir and

bell choir on hand.

Additionally,

a singing group from Fayette Community Theater will be on hand to help

put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Soloist Spencer Mulkey from Newnan

will also perform.

All the entertainment

acts are scheduled to start after the tree is lit.

The Youth Advisory

Board of the Commission on Children and Youth will have cookies for children

to decorate and they will also be selling drinks as a fund-raiser.

The ceremony

leading up to the countdown will begin at approximately 6:50 p.m., said

Susan Taylor of the Peachtree City Recreation Department. Lenox will ask

the crowd for assistance in the countdown, which will be marked by the

city's special countdown machine as it ticks down to the special moment.

"We're

looking forward to starting the Christmas season," Taylor said.
