Olde Home Days hosted our 1st Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser during Shop Local day in Clinton on November 30th. The event was well attended and most people had mentioned they had never been inside the Holder Memorial. Several families became members after learning what the Historical Society offered its members.

We want to thank Mr. Terry Ingano and the members of Clinton’s Historical Society and the groups or organizations who so generously created a greenery item for our Festival of Trees fundraiser. We also wanted to thank Carole O’Malley, who entertained everyone with her beautiful voice and guitar talents.
