Nassau, Bahamas - The annual Christmas tree lighting took place in Fox Hill on Sunday 5th December.  Each year the Fox Hill parade grounds are lit from stem to stern.  This year Jan Davis of the Village Convenience Store and Davis Enterprises and her team used a green and yellow motif to light the tree, which is supplied by Ken Perigord Enterprises. 

The tree lighting is organized by the Fox Hill Festival Committee headed by Maurice Tynes and a team of Fox Hillians.  They name the tree each year after a prominent Fox Hillian.  This year the tree was named in honour of Mildred Edgecombe, a civic activist and mother.  Ms. Edgecombe (in hat at right) had the honour of turning on the Christmas lights in the centre of Fox Hill.  A special treat for the residents was the performance by the Doris Johnson Snr. High School Band under the direction of Aaron Neely.  Fred Mitchell Fox Hill MP is shown at the far right of the photo.
