Season's Greetings



Thanks to Marie & Kathy, the 2013 BOFA tree is up and on display in the Belfast town park.
 "We had the tree lighting on Sunday December 8th. There was a huge crowd!!! We are short on photos this year but the tree was decorated over several days.  People walking around the park were encouraged to add an ornament to our tree. We like the way it turned out. " ~ Kathy
