The holiday season began over the weekend with snow on Capitol Hill and Christmas trees at Stevens Elementary. More Hill holiday good times are ahead.
The school’s parent teacher association held its annual tree and holiday wreath sale Friday night and Saturday morning, living on as Capitol Hill’s only charity tree lot on a cold and icy first weekend in December.
The cooler weather will continue but we’ll see mostly rain until Friday night and through the weekend when the National Weather Service says we should see a mix of rain… and snow.
Holiday things to do will continue, too, including Thursday night’s December Capitol Hill Art Walk and the annual Holiday in the Park event in Volunteer Park.
