We had a weekend full of holiday activities at the Youth Center! Our JAG Youth Council members, along with some volunteers and board members, supervised our Jingle Bell Jamboree. We had holiday arts and crafts to make and bring home, letters to write to Santa, face painting, our castle jumpy, cookie decorating, hot chocolate donated by the Girl Scouts and pictures with Santa! It was a nice way to socialize with families of the community before the big Santa Parade!! The Youth Centers float this year was themed based on the new movie Trolls. Staff and volunteers worked hard all morning to put it all together in time for the parade. We had over 40 kids riding on the float through town!! We would like to especially thank: John & Darlene Dulude, Sabrina Flores, Joe Graziano, Shawn Lescoe, Devon Despres, Brenda Wheelock, Sandra Caproni, Susan Salamone and Arts & Towing for lending us a truck for the parade!!!Other Holiday events that were held at the Youth Center last weekend were the Gala of Trees event to raise money to support the “guardian angel” fund hosted by the Milford Jr. Women’s Club and the Vineyard Church of Hopkinton put on a Christmas movie called “Why Do We Call It Christmas?” for kids and families to come in and enjoy some snacks and learn about the holiday. The Milford Fire Department also had their Santa 2K end of the race festivities at the Center! We are already looking into more advertising and planning to make these yearly traditions even more popular for next year!
