Sing-along warmed hearts despite freezing temperature

After welcoming the gathering at The Living Water Wayside Chapel carol sing-along Saturday, organizer Rick Meloen assured the small crowd he was not at all disappointed

About 25 people braved a just below freezing afternoon with voices singing out to celebrate the holiday season, paying tribute to Christmas with both sacred and fun holiday songs from a song book of lyrics provided. Dianne Ticknor, who has led the singing for all three events, joked that no matter the weather, “we’re still singing.’

The small crowd grew as a couple of cars saw the gathering as they drove along the Niagara River Parkway and stopped by to join in what has become an annual tradition — Meloen promised at the end of the sing-along that there would be a repeat next year.
