The Arnett Block Association
hosted their annual Christmas event last night at 6:00 pm in the Arnett Bird & Butterfly Garden on the corner of Wellington and Arnett. A hearty group of adults and children gathered for an early evening of caroling around an open fire, cooking s’mores, eating popcorn with cocoa, and having fun with other neighbors and friends.
This time of year the butterflies were hiding but squirrels were out, and Santa Claus came by and stayed for the whole time! Santa’s helper, Ms. Anne from the Arnett Branch Library was there with a sled full of gently used kids’ books to give away. The children also got Christmas coloring books and crayons, and the adults left with joy in their hearts, promising to come back next year!
