Jinglefest 2008 looked absolutely beautiful under the glimmer and shimmer of the new fallen snow. Jinglefest started out as Christmas in Dibbleville when a group of merchants pulled together to create the start of a marvelous Christmas festival for Fenton and surrounding areas. The Fenton Chamber of Commerce took the reigns and turned it into what we know as Jinglefest.
Stacy Lukasavitz was kind enough to share with us some of her pictures from the evening events at Jinglefest in 2008. Thanks Stacy!!
After 23 years in Fenton, the local movie theater has closed its doors forever. Hopefully someone will come in, buy it up and reopen a theater. But for now … Fenton Cinemas is out of business. Here’s the visual proof:
I had to go out there today to see with my own eyes that it was true. It is. There is a notice posted on the door that as of December 7, 2008 the Fenton Cinema has closed its doors forever. There aren’t any movies listed on the sign overlooking US-23. We’ll be having a quick video as visual proof that this business has been shut down. Yes, Fenton Cinemas is out of business. Check the business section of the video series off the front page of www.FentonSays.com soon to see this video. It’s sad news indeed.
