My friend Herbert Ward would like to remind everyone that the Federated Church in Edgartown, will hold its seventh annual Festival of Wreaths on Thursday, Dec. 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the parish house and meetinghouse on South Summer street in Edgartown. There will be 75 originally-designed, hand-decorated, natural wreaths — all for sale at $45, $55, and $65. Proceeds from the event help maintain and preserve the 1832 Sara Mayhew Parsonage, an important home in the Edgartown historic district. Or just stop by the Parish House for hors d’oeuvres and beverages or to sing Christmas songs around the piano. While there, you may want to take a look at a number of items which will be raffled, and some really great items on silent auction. For information call 508-627-4421 or visit federatedchurchmv.org.
