YAY.THIS IS THE FIRST EFFORT TO BRING CHRISTMAS SPIRIT TO HOPE HAVEN ON THE WEST BANK BY LIGHTING THE OAK TREES.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS DEVELOPING THE HOPE HAVEN CAMPUS, BUT TONIGHT IS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT 'CAUSE WE LIT THE OAK TREES AND WHAT WAS JUST GONNA BE PHASE ONE OF HOPEFULLY MANY FUTURE PHASES TO LIGHT UP AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS AT THIS WHOLE CAMPUS.
I CAN FORESEE ADDITIONAL CHRISTMAS, UH, DISPLAYS JUST LIKE WE DO AT LAUGHING YEAR PARK, COMING HERE IN THE COMING YEARS.
SO IT'S A REALLY EXCITING NIGHT TONIGHT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS, A LOT OF PARENTS OUT HERE TONIGHT TO SEE THE STREETS, TO SEE THE LIGHTS, AND TO ENJOY IT.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THIS MANY MORE TIMES IN THE FUTURE.
THIS IS GONNA BE A START OF SOMETHING BIG FOR THE WEST BANK FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, UNINCORPORATED JEFFERSON PARISH, PARTICULARLY MARRERO HARVEY LAFITTE C CROWN POINT, HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS TO GO TO.
THAT'S GONNA CHANGE AND IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD THING FOR ALL OF JEFFERSON PARISH.
THESE LIGHTS WILL BE ON EVERY NIGHT THROUGH CHRISTMAS, SO IF YOU WANT TO COME SEE 'EM, THE HOPE HAVEN CAMPUS IS LOCATED ON BARTER BOULEVARD AT THE INTERSECTION OF WITCHERS AVENUE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF SHAW'S CAMPUS.
SO YOU CAN COME HERE ANY NIGHT, YOU CAN WALK ON THE WALKING TRAIL.
WE HAVE A CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA, WE HAVE AN ADULT EXERCISE AREA, WE HAVE LIGHTS.
