Our grandchildren know Christmas will be fanciful and fun in our home, and we look forward to sharing that spirit with everyone else.” The event will showcase the neighborhood and raise money for worthy projects, which, in the past, have included the Ida Reed Dog Park, sponsorship of the City of Beaumont’s Dogtoberfest, an annual scholarship for local college students, the art bike racks along Calder, and several Little Free Libraries, among others.
