Holiday happenings continue by Ruth Isenberg This weekend features more Christmas activities for children and adults. The annual Holiday Quilts and Crafts Show sponsored by the White Haven Area Community Library takes place on Saturday, December 7, in two locations. Beautiful and unique quilts are displayed both at the library and at the Victorian Connection, a restored Victorian era home built in the 1800s. Featured with the quilts are unique, original art, photography, pottery, holiday decorations, fabric art and more. A large selection of gift baskets will be part of a raffle, and home baked breads and desserts will be offered. Tickets are $5, with all proceeds benefitting the library. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with Heritage Hill Senior Community! Check out our annual Hill’s Angels Tree Trimming Contest and Open House on Sunday, Dec. 8, from noon to 4 p.m. Enjoy refreshments, vote for your favorite tree, and shop for holiday gifts from crafters and other vendors.
A PARADE OF ELVES, accompanied by the Krampus, at left, Santa Claus, at right, and the Grinch, bringing up the rear, was a fun part of the Hometown Holidays Festival in White Haven to mark Small Business Saturday. Children, adults, and pets walked down Main Street from the Tavern on the Trail, then up Susquehanna Street to the White Haven Area Community Library for crafts. For more photos of the Festival, please turn to pages 6 and 7. JH: Ruth Isenberg
At 5 p.m. on Sunday, Weatherly Faith Church will hold a Community Tree Lighting at 202 Carbon Street. Bring the family and enjoy. All are welcome.
