To the Editor:

On behalf of the board of directors of Altamont Community Tradition, I want to remind your readers to circle their calendars for Dec. 14 and 15 to plan to attend our 12th Annual Altamont Victorian Holidays Celebration!

This year's event promises to be the biggest and best yet, with activities held throughout the village, as well as our ever-popular house tours.

Some of these activities include a Winter Market, vintage car show (weather permitting), Father Joe Girzone signing his books, wine tasting, and much more. Of course we will feature our Festival of Trees and wreath auction as well as a special surprise on our house tours. 

The Sunday festivities will also include the living Nativity with caroling, tree-lighting and, of course, Santa's grand entrance into the village on the train.

Saturday evening is our complimentary Wine and Cheese with homemade appetizers, offering everyone a chance to meet new friends and reconnect with folks they know.  This takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Masonic Hall.

We will be posting new information in the weeks ahead; we hope you will clear the dates and join us for a wonderful family weekend!
