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!!

Lake Fenton is the premier lake in Fenton, Michigan. It’s open to the public with a pay-to-launch public access facility. A handful of years ago, due to commercial development, a popular area of the lake for people to “tie up” and have a good time that went by the nickname “Pig Beach” was closed down. Now it appears that the peninsula on the south end of the lake by the nickname of “Eagle Point” is the new hot hang out spot.
In 2007, FentonSays captured a view of a fairly busy weekend out at Eagle Point. One reader suggested we take another look at it on the 4th of July. We did exactly that (see, we read what our readers have to say, and we respond!).
