The Christmas sleigh at Rotary Park is missing

Downtown Kemptville BIA Executive Director Talia Hreljac (Hurl-Jack) is looking for a Christmas miracle.

Hreljac announced this morning that the Christmas sleigh in Rotary Park is “missing.”

A BIA social media post says the sled was lovingly restored by hand by the “wonderful members” of the North Grenville Men’s Shed and made its debut last Christmas.

Hreljac said while the BIA hoped it would become a cherished part of Christmas traditions for years to come, it was taken from private property back in May.

The BIA manager is keeping a positive spin on the situation, saying they are still holding out hope that the Grinch has a change of heart and the sleigh finds its way home in time for Christmas.

“After all, isn’t this the season for a little magic?”

Hreljac said one could imagine arriving at Rotary Park one morning and finding it back where it belongs, ready to bring smiles to families and create Christmas memories once again.

“Now that would be a Christmas miracle,” her post said.

Anyone with information about the missing sleigh is asked to contact OPP and reference file number E260771864.
