Description

BRIMFIELD – Christmas at Hitchcock returns on Saturday, December 10th from 1 to 6pm. The popular all ages event will include live music, cookie decorating & crafting, games, food, and more. The event is free of charge and there is no registration required. It will include both indoor and outdoor activities, so attendees should dress accordingly.

Live music will be performed from the building’s balcony by Tony Valley, Cody Peck, Patrick Timothy Yeo, and others. Listeners can keep warm by fire barrels dotted on Hitchcock’s lawn, sipping from free pours of delicious hot chocolate provided by Sturbridge Coffee House. Maddie’s Dogs Food Truck will be on site selling food as well.

Inside, attendees can decorate cookies, make Christmas crafts, play “reindeer games” and enjoy storytime with one of Santa’s elves. Vendors will also be selling local products such as honey, maple syrup, crafts, and other gift items.

Renowned ice carver Mike Rondeau will be doing a live ice carving during the event. 4-H will be bringing a pony for attendees to greet and pet. Weather-permitting, attendees will be encouraged to build a snowman on Hitchcock’s lawn.

“Christmas at Hitchcock feels like a family Christmas party combined with a larger scale holiday event. Our space is so much like a home, yet we have all the trimmings and trappings of an event with all the activities going on.”

Attendees can also bring a donation to the organization’s Toys for Tots collection, and donations to Hitchcock’s annual Friends Campaign which aims to raise $10,000 toward operating expenses through individual donations, are also warmly welcomed.
