HAPPENING HERE, A SPECIAL
CHRISTMAS WATER FIRE LIGHTING IS
GOING ON THIS WEEKEND IN THE
CREATIVE CAPITAL.
JOINING ME TO TELL US ABOUT THE
FESFESTIVITIES IS THE DIRECTOR FOR
THE WATER DEVELOPMENT AND THE
DIRECTOR FOR THE RESCUE MISSION.
GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASSOCIATE WATER
FIRE WITH THE SUMMERTIME.
INCLUDING MYSELF.
I LOVE WATER FIRE.
TELL US WATTS GOING ON.
IT IS TOMORROW.
IT'S FRIDAY.
WHAT DAY IS IT?
IT'S EXCITING BECAUSE IT'S
THE SECOND YEAR IN THE ROW WE'VE
HAD AN ANONYMOUS DONOR ON STEP
FORWARD AND WANTED US TO BRING
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT BACK TO
PROVIDENCE AND WORK WITH THE
PROVIDENCE RESCUE MISSION AND
HAVE A FESTIVE TIME DOWNTOWN TO
CELEBRATE THAT CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
WE HAVE PLANTED OVER 40 TREES
ALL AROUND THE BASIN.
IS THAT THE FESTIVAL OF
LIGHTS?
IT'S OUR OWN FESTIVAL OF
TREES, SO ALL THE PROCEEDS GO TO
THE PROVIDENCE RESCUE MISSION.
WE HAVE A MASSIVE CHRISTMAS TREE
ON THE BASE OF THE STAGE.
SANTA.
COOKIES.
HOT CHOCOLATE.
THE BIG GUY KNOWS ALL ABOUT
THAT.
LET'S JUST DO IT RIGHT, RIGHT?
CAROLING.
JUST LIKE AN OLD-TIME
CHRISTMAS.
5:00.
AT 6:00, THE MAIN TREE GETS LIT.
IT HAS ALL THE ORNAMENTS THE
CHILDREN MADE.
THAT'S AWESOME.
WHO MADE
ALL THE CHILDREN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THE BIG THING ABOUT THIS IS WE
WANT PEOPLE TO BRING DOWN TOYS
AND SUPPORT THE INCREDIBLE WORK
THE RESCUE MISSION DOES 365 DAYS
A YEAR.
ALWAYS OPEN.
OKAY, SO BASICALLY COME DOWN,
DONATE TOYS.
NEW, UNWRAPPED TOYS.
AND CLOTHES, IS THAT WHAT YOU
WERE SAYING?
YEAH, CLOTHES.
AND SPEAKING OF THE
PROVIDENCE RESCUE MISSION, TELL
US ABOUT IT, SEAN.
WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 1999.
MISSION.
WE'RE A 5013 NONPROFIT.
WE CARE FOR THE HOMELESS OF THE
CHURCHES.
WE FEED NIGHTLY, HAVE DENTAL AND
HEALTHCARE.
WE HAVE FEED 1900 MEALS A MONTH.
THAT'S A LOT.
YES, AND CHRISTMASTIME IS
SPECIAL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE
KIDS, AND WE PARTNERED WITH
WATER FIRE AND ARE ASKING PEOPLE
TO BRING A TOY.
SO COME TO WATER FIRE, ENJOY THE
COCOA AND THE PERFORMANCES, BUT
BRING AN UNWRAPPED TOY.
WE HAVE TWO OR THREE STATIONS ON
THE STAGE, DROP THEM OFF, WE'LL
TAKE THEM AND WE'RE LOOKING TO
PROVIDE CHRISTMAS FOR 1500 OR
MORE CHILDREN THAT WOULDN'T HAVE
A CHRISTMAS.
THAT SOUNDS SO LOVELY.
YEAH!
AND I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WILL
BE CAROLING AS PART OF THE
FESTIVITIES.
VERY COOL.
WE'RE EXCITED.
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT TIME.
GREAT TIME.
