Bloomfield Hometown Christmas
The Bloomfield Downtown Revitalization team is making plans for the eighth annual Bloomfield Hometown Christmas Event, which is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Dec. 1 from 1-5 p.m. and will be located on and around the square in Bloomfield. Dec. 1 promises to be an exciting day in Bloomfield, with the Shawnee Theater 'Festival of Trees' event concluding that afternoon, and the 'Light Up the Park' event at 6 p.m. in the town park
Hometown Christmas will offer a coloring contest for children through sixth grade and those entries will be displayed in businesses downtown. Coloring pages are available at Bloomfield Elementary School and the Bloomfield Public Library and are due Nov. 21 for judging.
Prizes will be awarded for kindergarten and under, first and second grade, third and fourth grade and fifth and sixth grade categories. Winners will be announced at 4 p.m. Dec. 1 on the Courthouse steps (Methodist Church in the event of rain).
