Woonsocket 2024 Annual Holiday Ornament Symbolizes Unity, Freedom, and Love of Country

 


WOONSOCKET, R.I.: Mayor Christopher Beauchamp announced today that the City of Woonsocket’s Annual Holiday Ornament for 2024 features the colors of our flag inside a beautifully crafted star adorned with gold-plated swirls. The ornament prominently displays the words "God Bless America." Made of 24K gold-plated brass, this ornament has been custom-designed and handcrafted by Beacon Design, a Lincoln, RI-based company recognized as the leading manufacturer of ornaments in America and famous for creating the official White House Holiday Ornament.


Mayor Beauchamp stated, “Our 2024 Annual Holiday Ornament captures Woonsocket's patriotic spirit and serves as a reminder of the importance of unity, faith, and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. This ornament makes a wonderful keepsake for your trees and wreaths.”


The Mayor expressed gratitude to Georgeta Gassey for her thoughtful contribution of inspirational message included on the ornament’s card. “Georgeta’s heartfelt message perfectly compliments the theme of unity, faith, freedom, and love of country. Her words resonate particularly well in our hopeful post-election environment,” said Mayor Beauchamp.
Mayor Beauchamp will be presenting the 2024 Ornament at the Tree Lighting at the Winter Wonderland on Saturday, December 7, at 5:00 pm. Ornaments will be available to purchase after the presentation.


The City is offering one hundred ornaments for sale. Each elegantly boxed ornament will include a message card. The ornaments are priced at $25 each, and can be purchased in the Mayor’s Office at Woonsocket City Hall.

A key report shows wholesale inflation slowed last month. The July Producer Price Index shows a rise of zero-point-one percent. The PPI measures prices that businesses receive for goods and services. Economists had been expecting a slightly higher increase, according to a survey by the Wall Street Journal.        Over one-point-three million people tuned into Elon Musk's conversation with former President Trump on X last night. Some technical issues delayed the conversation, but the pair still spoke for over two hours. They discussed the attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania, immigration, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the threat of global warming, and more.        Voters are heading to the polls for primary elections in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, and Wisconsin today. In Minnesota, progressive Congresswoman Ilhan Omar will defend her seat against former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels. The contest comes after two other members of the so-called progressive "Squad," Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush, lost their Democratic primaries this cycle.        Tropical Storm Ernesto isn't expected to hit the U.S. mainland as it heads up the Atlantic Ocean. Current forecasts show the storm will bring heavy rain and flooding to Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands today. The National Hurricane Center says Ernesto will then head northward and into the Atlantic.        A former Colorado clerk is facing up to 22 years in prison for election tampering. Tina Peters was convicted yesterday and will be sentenced in October. Prosecutors argued she let an unauthorized person access Mesa County's voting equipment in 2021 and make a copy of hard drives, as well as pictures of passwords, and then tried to cover it up.        U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles will not have her appeal heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
