Outdoor yard games and holiday craft activities for children will be offered before the treelighting, and hot cocoa will be provided while carolers from the RHAM High School chorus will sing. A sing-along with all attendees will be held after the treelighting.

The Mohegan Pequot Model Railroad Club will also exhibit miniature locomotives at the Old Town Hall, with members of the club available to answer any questions. The exhibit will be open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday.

The newly revised edition of "Lost Mill Sites in Hebron, Connecticut" and the book "Hebron" from the Images of America series will be sold at $20 per copy, or as a bundle of both for $35 together.
