Come in and view some of our fantastic historic photos here at the library. Life was certainly different back in 1908, when that class of high schoolers(pictured here) was set to graduate. We have many albums, individual photos, The Winchester Public Library’s open house and Festival of Trees was held this past Saturday, December 12th. There were 16 tree entries and 4 wreathes in this year’s Festival of Trees, and after ballots were counted, a three way tie was discovered in the tree category! This year’s winners are: The City of Winchester with their clever “C.O.W.” tree, Becky Terry with her fun “Mary Kay Pink” feather tree, and The United Methodist Church Women with their cute themed tree “Jesus is the best gift.” “Jae’s Place” was the winner in the wreath category.We thank all of those groups and individuals that shared their time and creativity in displaying a tree this year, all of the entries were unique, fun, and beautiful! Happy Holidays everyone!
The Winchester Public Library open house and voting on the festival of trees will be on Saturday, December 12th, from 12-2 pm. Voting will be on all 15 trees decorated by civic groups and individuals from 10-12 and 12-2 on Saturday. The open house will feature a program of Christmas music at 1:00, and drawing for 2 poinsettias as door prizes, shortly thereafter.
