Once again, Riverton is being transformed for the upcoming holidays.  During the weekend of December 4th, 5th and 6th, the Riverton Merchants will be holding their annual Christmas in Riverton celebration, which includes a Friday night candlelight wine tour and many family and children's events on Saturday.  

Also in Riverton throughout the weekend, the RIverton Theater and the Riverton Congregational Church will be sponsoring A Christmas Carol, with the proceeds to benefit the Tiny Tim Fund.  Their performances always sell out, so get your tickets quickly before they are gone. 

The Barkhamsted Historical Society is sponsoring A Holiday Social on Saturday, December 5th and Sunday December 6th, at the Squire’s Tavern, the home of the Historical Society.  The Tavern will be aglow with Christmas trees of Christmas past and present as the Historical Society hosts for the third year, Christmas at the Tavern.  Patti Kierys, who is well versed on the subject of Christmas will decorate a Victorian Christmas tree with hand crafted ornaments of the period.  Other trees to spark the imagination of the viewers are various color feather trees, cookie tree and a cotton batting tree.  There will be vintage postcards, calling cards, and other memorabilia on display. 

For more information on all of these events, please check out the Riverton Merchants website (http://www.rivertonct.com/) and the Barkhamsted Historical Society website (http://barkhamstedhistory.org).
