To the editor:

The 2023 Grand Illumination was a great event and we are thankful for those who gave their time and talents.

Kudos to the Colt Andrews Elementary, Guiteras Elementary, and Rockwell School Choruses.

To the MHHS Vocal Ensemble and Marching Band.

All provided songs and music that brought smiles to faces and energy to the huge crowd.

To Miss and Little Miss 4th of July.

To the dancers from the Dance Works Dance Studio for providing a signature moment as Santa's reindeer.

To all the Town Departments and Town Administrator and Council whose support and encouragement is abundant and greatly appreciated.

To Santa and Mrs. Claus for electrifying the crowd.

And to the Bristol Christmas Festival Committee volunteers who brought it all together.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
