Annual Festival of Wreaths at THT Set for 12/6
By: Tyler Peterson Nov. 13, 2014
Wreaths are part of the holiday tradition, but in Middlebury they're also a sign of its amazing community spirit. For 22 years businesses and individuals all over town have transformed blank wreaths into amazing works of art, all to benefit the Mary Johnson Children's Center.
A veterinarian might make a charming wreath full of dog treats and dog toys. Tucked among the ribbons and glitter is often a gift certificate, or perhaps a warm pair of hand-knit mittens. The wreaths can be funny, crammed with useful things, or just plain beautiful. All are gifts of the heart from the people of the Middlebury community.
Once again the Festival of Wreaths will take place at Middlebury's Town Hall Theater, where over 100 wreaths will be on display on Saturday, December 6.
The festival, one of the most loved and well-attended holiday events in Addison County, features food, music, and of course the wonderful wreaths. The wreaths are sold via silent auction, but one needn't buy anything to meet with friends and soak up the holiday spirit.
The Mary Johnson Festival of Wreaths will be held on Saturday, December 6, from 10 am - 6 pm. Suggested donation is $3, with proceeds going to the Mary Johnson Children's Center and the Middlebury Cooperative Nursery School.
