After that, we start the summer schedule on June 13th of every Saturday at the Center School parking lot from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

It all happens on Saturday, December 6th. The concert begins at the Trinity Church at 4:30 p.m. and the Tree Lighting will follow…about 5:30 p.m. and then the eats and drinks will follow after that. It’s always a lot of fun, and depending on the weather, how long we stay outside singing Christmas Carols.

Hope to see you there.

Since the concert and tree lighting are well attended community events, the reception typically attracts many people from Milton and Litchfield County. Last year, despite the best efforts of the two churches, we were a little skimpy on food. We are hoping that as many people as possible can bring a finger food treat for the reception-either a baked item such as cookies or brownies or an hors d’oeuvres to share. Beverages will be provided, including hot cider and seltzer and wine.

We look forward to seeing everyone and sharing a wonderful Milton tradition.

Please join us for a casual gathering of good food and great fellowship. We will be collecting donations for our LOCAL food pantry and the Thanksgiving Food Drive which benefits around 30+ families in our community. Dry goods, Thanksgiving goodies, fruits, veggies, gift cards to Stop& Shop and cash donations are greatly appreciated also.
Please bring a hors d’ oeuvre to share. Drinks will be provided.

For more details or questions please call Kristen Orr 567-3319 or email Daziebug74@aol.com

Hope you will join us!!!
