Lighting on the Commons

Do not miss the Lighting on the Commons at the John Deere Pavilion this Saturday. The annual event is free and a lot of fun with fireworks and goodies!

Lighting on the Commons is the annual event that kicks off the holiday season in the Quad Cities. Local community people gather at the John Deere Pavilion to celebrate together. People get free horse cart rides around the John Deere Pavilion. Further, free hot chocolate, cookies, and coffee is served for the visitors. Santa’s family greet the visitors and everybody gets an opportunity to take a family picture with them.


Fireworks will be started after the lighting followed by choir by Moline school’s children. The event is free this Saturday from 3.30 pm to 6 pm.  Last year, Anthony Peoples, the meteorologist on WQAD hosted the event and led the countdown for the fireworks. Children will enjoy for sure, adults will have a good time. Be prepared for the cold weather and do not forget to wear your winter gear. 🙂

Deepavali-a festival of lights

Hi!

This is my first blog!


Deepavali is a festival of lights celebrated by Hindus throught the world. It is celebrated in the month of November on no-moon day.

It is the day Satyabhama 2’nd wife of Lord Krishna killed the BIG FAT DEMON…Narakasura the son of mother earth.

Friends and families gather at a place and blast fireworks. Last,then share variety of desserts.

Here is how I celebrated Deepavali :

Let me know how you celebrated!
