Winterfest

The winter wonderland atmosphere at Winterfest gathers the community together to share and give. This past year's donations to the Open Pantry, the Care Center in Holyoke, and Providence Ministries were more than expected and all the organizations were grateful to receive the gifts. Thank you for your generosity. Enjoy the Winterfest photos.
