Woonsocket 2023 Annual Holiday Ornament Symbolizes Revitalization, Progress, and Limitless Possibilities


WOONSOCKET, R.I.: Mayor Christopher Beauchamp announced today that the City of Woonsocket’s Annual Holiday Ornament for 2023 features a timeless Coastal Bike in a vibrant, eye-catching, golden setting emphasizing baskets of pastel floral arrangements. The ornament was custom-designed and handcrafted by Lincoln, RI-based Beacon Design, the leading manufacturer of ornaments in America and famous for designing and manufacturing the official White House Holiday Ornament.
“Our 2023 Annual Holiday Ornament captures Woonsocket's spirit of revitalization, progress, and boundless potential,” said Mayor Beauchamp. Beauchamp added, “The Coastal Bike reflects the many decorative bicycles seen across our city and our embrace of healthy outdoor recreation in our beautiful parks and along our bike path."
The Mayor thanked Georgeta Gassey for her thoughtful contribution of inspirational messages on the ornament’s card. “Georgeta’s heartfelt messages perfectly complement the ornament's theme of hope and renewal. There is always something to be thankful for and look forward to,” said Mayor Beauchamp.
The City is making 100 ornaments available this year, and each elegantly boxed ornament will include an individually numbered message card. The ornaments are $25 each and sold at Woonsocket City Hall. For additional information, contact Sue Gaulin at 401-767-9205 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
