City Holiday Celebration Draws Crowd

For the twenty-fourth straight year, Medford City Hall has decked its halls with trees, lights, and other seasonal glitter for its annual holiday celebration.  The event featured free food, music, ice sculptures, pony rides, and other family-oriented activities.

The 13th annual Jingle Bell Festival is also taking place and decorated trees will be on display at City Hall November 30-December 4.  The tree raffle and house tours, December 3 and 4 this year, have over the years raised more than $200,000 for the Alzheimer day care program at the Buddy Coholan Community Family Center.  For more information visit www.jinglebellfestival.org.
