The town of Warner welcomed
December with a Hometown Holiday celebration on Friday and Saturday. Included in the lineup was a reading of “The Christmas Cat” by author Efner Tudor Holmes and carols sung by the Gear-Up Homeschoolers at MainStreet BookEnds. The students sang about a dozen tunes ending with “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” The schedule also included the official tree lighting, live music, a craft and farmer’s market, and a visit from Santa.
