All children are encouraged to create their own handmade ornaments to hang on the tree with their families on the evening of the lighting.
Our Small Business Crawl event guide is a 24 page glossy magazine that will include a special offer from all participating small businesses throughout the month of December. The goal is to encourage our community to shop local! Keep an eye out in Shelton for your very own guide.
