SOUTHBRIDGE — More than 70 decorated trees filled LaSalle Reception Center from Thursday, Dec. 3 to Sunday, Dec. 6, for the Festival of (Giving) Trees. The beautifully decorated trees drew in huge crowds throughout the four days they were on display. Attendees bought raffle tickets and placed tickets in boxes for the trees they hoped to win. The trees — which had ornaments, decorations, gift cards and other treats and toys — were decorated and donated by local organizations, individuals and businesses, usually in memory of someone who passed from cancer. The Festival of (Giving) Trees also featured entertainment, including photos with Santa, a talent show, a concert and other fun events for all ages. There were also informational events, discussing ways to prevent cancer. Money raised from the Festival of (Giving) Trees went Olivia Richman photos towards cancer prevention and research. Maggy the Clown/Elf entertained the crowd.

STURBRIDGE — Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa or just like crafts, there was something for everyone at Joshua Hyde Library’s annual holiday craft drop-in. On Wednesday, Dec. 2, families poured into the library’s basement for icicle beading, Star of David decorating, coloring and other fun crafts, like decorating their own Christmas ornament bulb and designing their own fingerprint bookmarks. Children’s Librarian Assistant Jude McDonald said that many of the crafts were ideas she came up with herself. But some required a bit of guidance. Said McDonald: “Pinterest is great! I have other things planned for the kids, other ideas I got from Pinterest, for the rest of the year.” The holiday craft drop-in acts as a community event, said McDonald. Children come together to have fun and share their projects. There’s something for everyone.

Children had the opportunity to make their own Christmas ornament bulbs for the tree. Olivia Richman photos Six-year-old Jonathan Solari had fun making Kwanzaa-themed brace- lets.
