The Sound of Music

The day was cold but the sun was bright as the carolers began their singing at Bonatel's Book Store. Santa visited with the children while parents bought crafts from the nineteen crafters set up inside Winterfest Wonderland at 62 Main St. Sean Valdes and Sue Lints were co-chairmen of the event.

In this scene, Mary (Heather Wellman) and Joseph (Will McPherson) travel to Bethlehem with their trusty donkey (Lucia Kerr). Elmer "Smitty" Smith who was directing cars said that 91 car loads of people enjoyed the display that night.
