With the flick of a light switch in Stadium Park on Thursday night, the holiday season excitement began glowing again. The city's Park Commission, with its annual Holiday in the Park electric light display, is doing its part to foment Christmas spirit - at least within those who visit the park after sundown. Imaginative and animated lighting displays, such as the barrel-jumping boy, the penquin walking the tight rope and Santa Claus in a tractor, are strewn out in the park on the city's northwest side. Right now there are over 220,000 individual lights and about 36 major displays, said Doug Perry, director of the city's park system. We have people who come in from out of town. The lights have become an attraction.

The new federal building being built in Canton will be named the Ralph Regula Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in honor of the Republican's lengthy career as 16th District congressman. Construction began earlier this year at McKinley Avenue and Third Street SW. The $14 million building should open in June 2010 and will replace the Frank T. Bow Federal Building at Cleveland Avenue and Second Street SW. Regula, who lives in Bethlehem Township, served as Stark County's congressman from 1973 until his retirement in January.

The Rev. Richard Jordan celebrated the new sanctuary of Antioch Baptist Church with its first service in the former Canton Negro Oldtimers Activity Center in Canton on Sunday. The congregation marched from its old building at 1103 Seventh St. NE to the former Oldtimers Activity Center at 1844 Ira Turpin Way NE prior to Sunday services. Antioch purchased the Oldtimers building in September for $720,000. With a market value of $966,500, the deal includes a 16,994 square-foot building and 29 adjacent parcels. Jordan said that in addition to worship, Antioch will continue to offer the building for community events.
