The Sutton Chain of Lights holiday celebration led the regional celebrations on Saturday, December 7 with a host of activities across town, all conveniently connected by trolleys.

Caroling at the Gazebo was a highlight and was especially beautiful this year with its sparkling dusting of snow.

Kids enjoyed a holiday story time at the library while cousins Paitlyn and Natalie busied themselves decorating dinosaur ornaments, part of the dino-twist the Children’s Room added to this year’s Chain of Lights. (There was also a T-Rex roaming the stacks).

At the First Congregational Church  there were refreshments and plenty of craft items for sale including Christmas decorations, jewelry and knitted items. Cub Scout Pack 243 where Cub Scout Evan Foster and his dad Ian sold candy bars.

Upstairs in the sanctuary, a Creche or manger scene was arranged so that children could handle the figures while the story of the Nativity was read to them.
