BY OLIVIA BRAATEN VILLAGER CORRESPONDENT KILLINGLY — For those spending the last day of 2009 in downtown Killingly, there was “something for everyone,” Parks and Recreation Department (KPRD) Director Tom Dooley said. In its seventh year, Frostival, the town’s free New Years Eve celebration, spanned more than 20 locations, offering games, crafts, concerts and demonstrations. Snowfall earlier in the day set the mood for the winter festivities, but some, Dooley sug- gested, may have stayed home, presuming that the event would be canceled due to the weather, much like last year. As it turned out, the weather was beautiful, even if mild temperatures days before left the Maple Street Park ice skating rink far too soft to skate on. Only that and a hay wagon shut- tle were removed from the event schedule. Instead, a KPRB van shuttled partygoers along Main Street and Broad Street. Behind the wheel sat Dooley, getting passing looks at each venue throughout the night. His estimate of attendance: 2,500. Of course, with crowds flocking in and out of so many buildings, it’s hard to know for sure. “You just can’t tell,” he said of the chal- lenge.

Leader Pat Mellen said there was no specif- ic fund-raising goal, but since the group saw so much success the past five years they’ve done it, they took it a step further this time around: purchasing eight, not just seven, cans of chowder base and 100 pretzels. “If we sell that, I’ll be happy,” she said. Frostival itself is expected to continue to expand, too. Just days after the conclusion of the 2009 event, plans are already in the works for 2010’s big day. “I’m going to make some changes,” Dooley said, suggesting, for example, the possibility of more Frosty Fun Zones throughout the town in hopes of making the event even more family-oriented. What he hopes won’t change, however, is the continued support of volunteers, staff and supporters. “It was a great night, a fun night. I think our staff did a great job,” he said, offering thanks to Tracy, Val, Moe, Pam, Anthony, Tammy and the Recreation Commission.

umans like to name things. In the Bible, Adam gives “names to Hall cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field.” Humans have come up with interesting monikers for certain groups of animals.

The St. Joseph School Christmas program was held in St. Joseph Church Friday,Dec. 11, and the theme was the story of the Nativity. Every student had a chance to shine that night with their voice or musical instrument. They were directed by second-grade teacher Lori Proulx and music teacher Richard Lepore. Marilee Morse directed the Recorder Group, Cadet Band and Advanced Band, which played songs like “Silent Night” and a rousing rendition of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas Medley.”
