Strollin’ in the Winter ‘24
For the past four years, the Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown Chamber of Commerce has hosted a Winter Stroll throughout the two towns in the afternoon and evening, benefitted by a trolley for easy (and warm) wandering. There are costumed characters, special store and vendor events, music, and even an ugly sweater competition.

A Kendalite Experiences The Winter Stroll
Anne White enjoyed the Stroll this year, and sent along some pictures to show it:
Ice sculpture was one event . . .
Toasting marshmallows, another
And a bit of warming up all around.
It was freezing outside, so Anne went into The Sleepy Hollow Bookshop to warm up and found lots of parents and children reading and making paper lanterns. She reports that it’s one of her favorite spots, where Leah, the owner, will seek out the perfect present for each grandchild, matching not only their levels of reading (or being read to), but their interests and personalities.
Checking out the books in The Sleepy Hollow Bookshop. You might call it market research . . .
Creative activities include parents as well as their kids.
While strolling Sleepy Hollow’s Beckman Avenue, Anne came across quite a number of snowflakes—of the non-melting variety. A variety that Kendal folks helped create—60 of ‘em to be exact.

even in the Village Board Room.
