Take a break from the holiday frenzy for an old-fashioned community celebration in the Village of Otter Creek. The Hall will be decked, the tree lit, and there will be eggnog, cider, and an array of sweet and savory food. The kids can make crafts while their elders socialize. Take a picture with Victorian life size cut-outs. At 6pm, we will gather round the tree for carols. Everyone is welcome. Bring food to share if you wish. There is no admission fee, and donations to The Hall are always appreciated. The Aid Society of Otter Creek is a 501(c)3 non profit organization.
Festivities are 4:30-6:30pm, Sunday, December 4 at The Hall in Otter Creek, 82 Otter Creek Drive, between Bar Harbor and Seal Harbor.
