The cold weather was very fitting for an annual Christmas tradition in Cridersville Monday night! The Cridersville Historical Society lit up their Christmas tree at the Daniel Bowsher Log Cabin. In addition to the tree lighting, people gathered around the small bonfire to sing Christmas carols while staying warm. There was plenty of hot chocolate and various Christmas cookies to enjoy, and even Father Christmas made an appearance. Through all the festive memories being made, the Cridersville Historical Society, not only celebrates the Christmas season, but also shows people what Christmas may have looked like in the 1830s when the Bowsher Family first lived in Shawnee Township.
