The stores of Prospect Point, located at U.S. 42 and River Road, will celebrate the beginning of the holiday season on Dec. 5 with Light Up Prospect at the Point.

The all-day event will be marked with events at each store at the Point.

“They’ll be lots of giveaways, free food, games, prizes and things going on at each store,” said Terry Chambers of Prospect Jewelers.

As I prepared to write this article, I went to my designated writing spot, our enclosed front porch with the comfy furniture.  I want to sit there in the bright light of day and write while I sip hot tea.  It sounds idyllic, but the reality is a slight modification from your mental image of this scenario.

You’re likely to hear that a lot over the coming weeks. Maybe you’ve heard it before. But the fact remains that The Oldham Era of the last few years is no more.

Rest assured, this is a good thing.
