Citizens of Mayo have the chance to share the holiday spirit with the residents of Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, beginning next weekend. A Christmas light display will be open to the public on Saturday, Dec. 19, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. This is a one night only event with free hot chocolate and opportunities to meet both Santa Clause and the Grinch.
Many senior citizens and those who need to be in assisted living facilities with caretakers will be much more isolated this Christmas due to social distancing. Events like this that are put on for residents by caring staff members can make a huge difference this December. The display will remain open to the public until Friday, Jan. 1, but Saturday, Dec. 19, is the only evening when Santa and The Grinch will be available for meet and greets. Lafayette Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is located at 512 W Main St., in Mayo. Please remain in your vehicles and practice social distancing measures as you come out to enjoy the beautiful lights, hot cocoa and famous Christmas characters.
