Brownsville 2018 Holiday Happenings

BROWNSVILLE, Vt. — On Saturday, Dec. 1, various committees of the Brownsville Community Church, West Windsor’s Beautification Committee and West Windsor Fire Department will sponsor three festive holiday events.

At 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1, the community will be treated to a concert of Christmas music at the Brownsville Community Church. Rev. Christian Huebner has arranged this concert which will feature talented musicians of all ages. This concert is the last of a series of free-to-the-public concerts the Brownsville Community Church has offered to the public this year. Contact the Brownsville Community Church at [email protected] for more information on the Christmas Concert.

Before the concert, at approximately 4 p.m. at the West Windsor Town Hall (Route 44 & Brownsville Hartland Rd.) there will be the Town Holiday Tree Lighting. There will be caroling, a fire pit, tasty refreshments and two special visitors from the North Pole! Contact Jim Curry of the West Windsor Beautification Committee at 802-484-0138 for more information on the Brownsville Holiday Tree Lighting festivities.

Start the day with Christmas shopping at the famous Brownsville Christmas Bazaar from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the West Windsor Town Hall. The ladies of the United Methodist Women’s group have, once again, pulled together a fine gathering of artisans and crafters who will be selling their wares at the Christmas Bazaar. And, shoppers at the bazaar will enjoy Christmas music by West Windsor fiddler Adam Boyce.

Shoppers can also recharge with a fine lunch starting at 11 a.m., when the ladies will be offering an array of delicacies including homemade soups, salads and sandwiches as well as freshly baked deserts.

This dedicated group of women has accomplished many things this past year. All of the monies that the United Methodist Women raise through seasonal bazaars, craft sales and food events go to various charities as well as to sustain the greater church community. The UM Women’s group openly encourages any like-minded individuals to join them in their efforts. Contact Gail Britton at 802-674-6805 for more information on the Bazaar. Contact Ann Matthews for information on the United Methodist Women’s group at 802-484-5502.
