Winter 2017

 
TODAY IS THE LAST UFO DAY OF 2017. 
UFO DAYS WILL RESUME IN MARCH 2018


The sun is shining and my pansies are still growing on my sun porch but, from experience, I know this is a temporary lull. Winter Is coming. 



This year, BOFA members Kathy, Sharon and Larry will be decorating the BOFA Christmas tree at the Belfast Christmas Trees in the Park. Our tree will feature Tune Tangles designs colored by grandchildren of BOFA members. 
The Lighting ceremony is 
Sunday, Dec 3, 2017, at 6:30 PM. 
Trees will be on display until January 6, 2018.
