It is amazing to witness the holiday transformation within my home, neighborhood, and throughout West Valley City. The City Center including City Hall, Valley Fair Mall, and the surrounding streets have been adorned with various lights and decorations that add to the vibrancy of our community. JCPenney's has recently completed some simple, yet striking improvements to their exterior as the Mall redevelopment moves along. Construction didn't hamper the excitement surrounding the annual Christmas Parade which was made possible with the partnership of Chamber West. The highlight of the parade was of course Santa Claus at the end of the parade and not the City Council at the beginning. One final noteworthy festive holiday contribution from the City and City residents is the Trees of Diversity exhibit on display at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. The submissions are a delightful walk down the various interests and accomplishments of West Valley City. The Utah Cultural Celebration Center also hosts a couple of free concerts this holiday season including Miss Margene's Musical Theatre on December 14 at 7:00 pm and Bonnie Harris will preform her legendary Christmas Concert on December 21 also at 7:00. These are a couple of great ways to celebrate the holidays and make a few new family traditions here in West Valley.
