Luminaria lit the way to the front door of the Sarah Partridge Community House on Friday evening, Dec. 13, where the East Middlebury Historical Society hosted local residents for a community carol sing. The parlor was filled to overflowing with singers of all ages and the carols were joyful and hopeful.

The event was planned by Catherine Nichols. Bruce Yelton and his son, Sam, set up the outside candles. Together Linda Kelton, Sarah Wakefield, Laura Fedderolf and Henry Haskell decorated the Community House with holiday decor.

Memorial Baptist Church provided books of carols, and The Waybury Inn ended the evening by providing hot cider and an assortment of festive cookies.
