Winter
It’s winter in the Village, and though the groundhog promises us an early spring, the days are frigid and gray more often than not. We waken to frost to scrape and snow to shovel and days that are much too short....so what better time to take advantage of all the wonderful indoor events going on in the Village?This is a perfect time to grab those after holiday bargains at any number of Village shops. Or take time to explore the ever growing variety of art galleries throughout the town. It may seem that spring will never come, but there is always something blooming on the canvases of our very talented local artists.
Too cold to decide what to do? Need more ideas? Check out these "hot" events:
