A festival that honored the winter light through an evening of performance in music ,dance, story and song. We created Stone Soup from the beloved children's book with impromptu scene study and performance. Soup and treats were enjoyed by all.

Immediately following was the candlelit parade and bridge lighting ceremony. The ceremony on the bridge was commemorated by casting all the wishes in stones, dropped into the Wallkill River.

Those wishes were given to the river to be washed through the world. The bridge was lit with many white lights, courtesy of the D.O.T., The Town and Village of Montgomery along with Central Hudson--We at the Meadow appreciate all those that volunteered their time and came out to celebrate with us!
