This year’s Old-Fashioned Christmas Celebration was held on Sunday, December 16. We had a traditionally-decorated live tree, Christmas carols accompanied by our antique pump organ, cookies, punch and other holiday snacks, and even a visit from Santa Claus! Between 30 and 40 people attended, and the event was covered by the Indianapolis Star. This annual event has become a community favorite. We hope you’ll all join us again next year!
