KDTC Celebrates Christmas at the Farm

The Killingworth Democratic Town Committee joined other town organizations in providing free activities for children and adults at the annual Christmas at the Farm event at Parmelee, December 6th. Our activity was a cookie decorating station under the pavilion. 

It was a cold afternoon, but the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Parents and kids turned out for a day of holiday fun that included a visit from Santa, Christmas carols by the HK Middle School choral group, and wagon rides. It all culminated in the tree lighting. 

The KDTC has offered the cookie decorating activity for at least four years now. We always enjoy the quiet seriousness with which children of all ages decorate their cookies. Some cookies get eaten on the spot while others are slipped into baggies “for later.” All are masterpieces of color and sweetness.

The KDTC would like to thank the Parmelee Committee for the work they did pulling this family centered event together. The children who waited patiently  to see Santa and took part in the other activities definitely enjoyed their day.

Town Meeting August 5

There’s a town meeting scheduled for Monday, August 5, 2024, at the Killingworth Emergency Operations Center (across the driveway from Town Hall). Please come and support the budget measures.

These measures are the most efficient way to fund the capital projects the town has planned—the ones we voted for earlier this year. The town is moving ahead with Pickle Ball courts, ball fields, equipment purchases, and roadwork, making use of federal and state grants as much as possible.

The meeting is at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, August 5. Bring your I.D.
