The Big Christmas Light Switch On
This event takes place every year on the first Friday in December.
The christmas light switch-on takes months of organising and the group are always looking for ways of raising funds.
The shops and businesses in the town are supportive in helping out with the purchase of gifts for the small children who come to see Santa and the choirs from the primary schools, boys brigade and the pipe band.
Local groups join in the procession to the town hall to see Santa and the Annan Young Citizen of the year who together switch on the lights.
Without the support of the Area Committee, the Common Good Committee, and the Annan Community Council we could not achieve this annual event.
The Big Beacon Event
The group also organised The Big Beacon Event at the Watchhall Annan to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee in 2012. This was very well received by the folks of Annan.
The Homecoming Year
In the Homecoming year, High Jinks organised concerts and lots of events to celebrate our national bard Robert Burns 250 years anniversary.
Recent Work
Thanks to the Rotary Club of Annan we now have a sleigh for Santa. A million thanks to Jimmy Steel for the renovation work.
High Jinks could do more and would like to do more but in order to achieve that we need more people to become involved. We meet regularly at the Bluebell Inn in Annan.
So come along ...
