Gray kicked off the official start of
the Christmas season with its annual tree lighting. Children of all ages and
the GNG High School Choir were on hand to
sing carols and greet Santa when he arrived to
light the tree with his magic cane.
Once Santa’s magic touch lit the tree he headed into Newbegin Gymnasium to
pose for photos with the children and
oversee some holiday crafts.
This weekend in New Gloucester, the
Shakers at 707 Shaker Road (Rt. 26) will host the annual Christmas Fair from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring baked
goods, preserves, handcrafted gifts, Shaker antiques and hand-cut wreaths. The
New Gloucester History Barn will
also be open on Saturday from 9 a.m. to
noon celebrating its fifth anniversary with the photo
history of New Gloucester on
display. The History Barn is located
behind Town Hall at 387 Intervale Rd.
For
more holiday shopping, the Ladies Auxiliary of the Gray American Legion will
host its annual craft fair from 8 a.m. to
2 p.m. with Santa stopping by
between 10 a.m. and noon. In addition to
crafts from area artisans, the Boy Scouts will be on hand selling freshly made
wreaths. The American Legion is located at 15 Lewiston
Road in Gray.
