Christmas at the Farm

The Killingworth Democratic Town Committee was once again happy to participate in the seasonal celebration, Christmas at the Farm. This year our cookie decorating activity included sharks as well as trees and the same smiles from children of all ages.

Christmas at the Farm is a wonderful site-wide event sponsored by the Parmelee Committee. It brings families to the farm for several free activities, including a wagon ride and a visit to Santa, and dovetails perfectly with the Historical Society’s Christmas Fair. It then all winds down at sunset with song and the tree lighting.

This is one of many gatherings in this village of ours where neighbors come together to enjoy an event, and where a corps of volunteers keeps things running smoothly. Kudos to Killingworth. May we always find reason to gather as neighbors in friendship and fun.

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.
