Several lights and holiday decorations used by Norris Shines and the Norris Lions Club were stolen from B & C Storage on East Norris Road. The theft was discovered Saturday morning by a Norris Lions Club member who was going to build shelves in some of the units used by the club. The Lions Club allows Norris Shines to share their storage space for free.
According to the Norris Shines, over 11,000 Christmas lights, 12-holiday wreaths, a Christmas tree, plus other decorations, and heavy-duty electrical cords were stolen. In addition, a large number of American flags belonging to the Lions CLub are missing.
“Now everything is gone,” said Bonnie Peacock, Chairperson of the Norris Shines Committee. “It’s kind of sad. You know it’s like the Grinch came in and stole our Christmas and now we have to start all over again.”
If you want to help Norris Shines buy new lights, mail a check to Norris Shines at PO Box 1154, Norris, TN 37828.
Those with information about the theft are asked to call Norris Police at 865-494-0880.
