On Saturday, December 5th at 4:30 p.m. all are invited to the Town Green as Colchester welcomes the holiday season with our Holiday Homecoming celebration. You won’t miss the Green beautifully lit with luminary bags and our arches! Join us as we light candles (quantities are limited, so you may want to bring your own) and sing a long with the St. Andrew Young People’s Choir. Santa will be arriving via Fire Truck, and will be available for pictures in the gazebo, so bring your cameras! The Historical Society will open Old Bacon
Academy for you to browse and see the rich history of Colchester. There will be lots of complimentary cookies and refreshments for all. Join us by the toasty warm bon fire …and it sounds like we are going to need it! The Lion’s will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items for the Colchester Food Bank. The Colchester Police department will also have a big empty cruiser we are hoping the community will help fill with toys for Colchester’s youth who need your support. This year many local businesses will once again have special evening hours to welcome in the season. Our ice sculptor will have a live demonstration and the CT snow dog association will also be on the Green with their 2009 dog sled team. We look forward to seeing you all and wish you a warm and happy holiday season.
Win a Ride with Santa!
In order to support the increased need of Colchester’s food bank and gift giving program we will be collecting non-perishable food items and new unwrapped toys from Monday, November 23rd – Thursday, December 3rd. Drop off locations are the Colchester Parks & Recreation office and the Cragin Memorial Library. Everyone making a donation will be eligible to enter their family into a drawing to win a ride on the fire truck with Santa to the Green! The winner will be notified on Friday, December 4th. Good Luck to all! Thank you in advance for your generosity. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Parks & Recreation at 537-7297.
