Winterfest 2018 on December 15, 2018

Our thanks to everyone for making Winterfest a success yesterday December 15, 2018. We enjoyed meeting the many families and individuals who came out and enjoyed our wonderful artisans and vendors, Santa (played by the amazing Karl Kosok), food, and craft tables sponsored by STM. STM had a great day and is grateful for the support from our partner Difference Makers and for all the volunteers that we recruited through Montgomery County Volunteer Center. The children had a great time visiting Santa, decorating cookies/ornaments, making pinecone birdfeeders/beaded ornaments, folding origami, and face painting.  STM also sold photo button ornaments at this event.  We hope you did too and that we’ll see everyone again next year!
