Annual Christmas Caroling Dec. 19, 2020

Due to the Pandemic and community changes, Caroling like everything else took on a new look. Ellen Spina, Bill Ingrassia and Carolyn Smith took to the the streets of Foxwood at 7 PM using their cars. Assisted by a computerized instrumental background of music broadcast from a roof mounted speaker under the guidance of Paul Spina; the carolers covered most of the community.  While the turn out was small , the gift of the season was still evident and brought smiles to those who listened.

Thank you Carolyn and Bill for again being a fervent supporter of keeping our Christmas tradition alive.
