Santa arrives, festive trees abound, and the Common lights up

December 17, 2021

Santa and his elves arrived in two fire engines at the Congregational Church Christmas Fair and Festival of Trees just after 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11. The following afternoon residents gathered on the Common, and the Nashoba Valley Concert Band played carols for the lighting of the town Christmas tree.
