Winter Welcome at Storrs Center

Join us Saturday, December 14, for "Winter Welcome," a holiday event in Storrs Center!

Strolling carolers and musicians – including the E. O. Smith Chamber Singers, Mansfield Middle School Chamber Choir, and performers from the Community
School of the Arts – will share their talents performing both outside and
indoors. 

Keep a look out for a Mountain Dairy milk truck heading from the

Mansfield Town Hall around 2:00 pm – it will have a special passenger on

board! Santa Claus will greet friends at the new UConn Co-op Bookstore in

Storrs Center from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm.

As part of Winter Welcome, Storrs Center businesses will be collecting donations to benefit the Town of Mansfield, Connecticut Human Services Holiday Program. This program supports local families in need during the holiday season and supplements efforts such as the Adopt-a-Family gift-giving program. Look for collection jars at Storrs Center businesses.
