Christmas music was provided by the duo of Norris & James and the Lehigh Valley Idols, and libations were available in the form of wine tastings by Black River Farms, a vineyard in Lower Saucon Township.

A large buffet of hors d’oeuvres, home-baked cookies and other treats was prepared by historical society volunteers and friends.

To learn more about the Hellertown Historical Society and volunteer opportunities, or how to reserve the Tavern Room for a private affair, visit their new website and like/follow them on Facebook.
