For a holiday treat, a miniature snow-covered ceramic New England village will be on display for local residents to enjoy at the Andover Community Hub, 157 Main Street, on Sunday, December 12 and 19, from 2 to 4 PM, and any time the Hub is open throughout the holiday season.

Part of the collection of Andover resident Renee Goodwin, the display is lighted and features an electric train that runs throughout the village, as well as a swan pond and small figures going about their daily lives. 

Renee has been collecting these houses and figures for five years, but her display has gotten way too large for her house, so she decided to reach out to the Hub to find a way to share part of it with the community, perhaps one part this year and another next year.  

Residents – and especially those with kids – are welcome to stop in on December 12 or 19 to enjoy the display, as well as cookies and cider.  In addition, the Hub is generally open on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 to 11:30 AM for drop-in coffee, so these are other good times to stop in between December 12 and January 6, the day that is traditionally thought of as the Twelfth Day of Christmas and the end of the holiday season.
