Memorial Beach transformed into a ‘Winter Wonderland’

Patrick Skahill photos

WEBSTER — Bonfires, hot cocoa, crafts, hayrides and Santa! It could all only spell one thing — Winter Wonderland! Last Friday, Dec. 12, and Saturday, Dec. 13, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the shores of Memorial Beach were transformed into a little slice of the North Pole with children and their parents turning out in high numbers despite the day’s inclement weather and low temperatures. Chester C. Corbin Youth Services Librarian Andrew Tai was on hand to direct crafts activities for students before they checked in to visit with Santa Claus. The beach house was completely transformed and teenage volunteers gave their time to serve hot cocoa and candy to the kids and coffee to the chilly parents. Members of the Dudley and Webster Fire Departments directed the large bonfire and children also enjoyed a number of ongoing hayrides departing from the beach house and circling around the roadway.

TREE LIGHTING EVENTS BRING CHRISTMAS SPIRIT TO WEBSTER, DUDLEY

BY PATRICK SKAHILL TIMES STAFF WRITER

Icy conditions and freezing rain weren’t enough to drown out the sounds of merriment in Webster and Dudley Thursday, Dec. 11, during two tree-lighting events featuring food, crafts and a visit from jolly old St. Nick. Sponsored by the Webster-Dudley Business Alliance, the Webster Tree Lighting took place at the Webster Town Common before moving to the United Church of Christ, Federated Fellowship Hall. The event featured refreshments, music from the Pulaski Brass Band and a visit from Santa and a few of his helpers. This year marked the first-annual tree lighting — an event Business Alliance President Rebecca Leonard said she hopes to continue in the future. “This is our first year, so hopefully it will grow down the road,” Leonard said. Over in Dudley, Mr. and Mrs. Claus met with youngsters as they enjoyed pizza, candy, hot chocolate and cookies inside the Dudley Municipal Complex. Kids also got a chance to get up close and personal with a very popular Christmas pooch brought in by Santa and Mrs. Claus. Face painting and crafts were available and many children also enjoyed singing some carols after they had their visit with Santa. Both trees in Webster and Dudley will now stay lit up through Christmas.
