It wouldn’t be the holidays without Holly Daze

    While 78-degree temps Saturday, Oct. 27, made a perfect backdrop for the Holly Daze craft and gift show, it made it hard to believe Christmas is less than two months away. Leaves rained down from trees as shoppers of all ages made their way to Holyoke JR/SR High School for the 56th annual event sponsored by Jolly Dozen FCE Club. Vendors from multiple states filled the old gym and two commons areas with everything from home decor to jewelry to food samples, giving friends and family a taste of the holiday season while they browsed.
