Founder's Day

Holiday Story Time Kicks Off Union's "Christmas in the Country" Sunday Activities

The Union Historical Society (UHS) will join Union area businesses participating in Sunday Open House on December 8th. This is part of a three day event: "Christmas in the Country" sponsored by the Union Area Chamber of Commerce, December 6, 7 and 8. 

Sunday's activities will begin at 3:00 P.M. at the Robbins House with story telling by Roland Watier. He will be telling three stories which promise to entertain kids of all ages: "The Night Before Christmas" by Clement Moore, "Scotty the Squirrel" by Pierre Martin and "Ants and the Giant Sweet Roll" by Roland Watier, illustrated by Matt Watier.

There will be refreshments served. UHS will have their publications on sale, including a new cookbook of candy and fudge recipes from Rosamond Danforth. For more information, call 785-5444 to leave a message and your call will be returned. 

At 6:00 P.M. on Sunday there will be a bonfire on the Common followed by a dedication and lighting of the many Common Christmas Trees. The activity will then move to the Old Town House for cocoa, cookies and carols.

At 7:00 P.M. Santa arrives at the Old Town House. At 7:15, Santa will draw the winner in the raffle for the $100.00 gift certificate sponsored by the Chamber.
