December 11, 2020 - From the Historic Fort Harrison to the Historic Clearwater Building, and the Humanitarian Centers sponsored by the Church of Scientology all received a touch of the Holidays from “the elves.” The City of Clearwater Parks and Recreations and their volunteers helped to light up Cleveland Street by decorating the palm trees lining the street along the 400 through the 600 blocks, in addition to the traditional holiday-themed colorful lit décor affixed to light poles.
“Coming downtown at night and seeing all the beautiful lighting and decorations makes it feel like we’re in a Christmas Village,” said Sam Lampson. “It brings out the holiday spirit which we can all use a large dose of after such an unusual year.”
“For those who love holiday themed photos, the community is invited to use the 102-year old Historic Clearwater building now housing the Scientology Information Center as their backdrop,” said Amber Skjelset, Manager of the Scientology Information Center. “The building façade is adorned with 15 wreaths with red and gold ribbons and white lights on Fort Harrison and Waterson Avenue, a red and green garland strand above the entrance, and two life-like lighted trimmed trees on the building’s exterior portico.”
