Christmas Comes to Schoharie
SCHOHARIE - The weather was perfect for the annual Christmas in Schoharie celebration Saturday. The air was crisp and there was snow on the ground as the day began with breakfast and a visit from Santa at the fire house.
The rest of the day was full of stories, a snowball drop, a treasure hunt, music at the Old Stone Fort, and then a parade in the evening followed by a tree-lighting on the DAR lawn. This year's tree was donated by Guernsey's Nurseries.

Though Halloween is over, the Hilltown Hags still spread their joy at Saturday's parade.
The theme of the parade was classic Christmas movies and shows.
