Celebrating winter in Falls Village

FALLS VILLAGE — The David M. Hunt Library’s annual “Midwinter’s Night in the Village” fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 10, was well attended.

There was a bit of a scrum surrounding the long table piled with homemade goodies. The lineup included, memorably, chocolate mice, which prompted “there are mice in the library” jokes.

Rebecca Bloomfield and Adam Sher kicked off the music. Sher noted that the two play together “once a year, here.”

Katelin Lopes, a junior at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, made her debut on acoustic guitar, doing Stephen Foster’s “Beautiful Dreamer.” She said she has been playing guitar for just six months.
