On Saturday, Dec. 3, the Smithtown Historical Society decked its halls and walls for its annual Heritage Country Christmas. At the center of the festivities was the popular Community Wreath Contest. Guests had the opportunity to view and vote on a selection of 23 unique entries. Designers were able to choose from any type of material with a minimum size restriction of 12 inches and maximum size of 24 inches in diameter. At the end of the evening each wreath was auctioned off in a drawing to raise funds for the Smithtown Historical Society.

The Best in Show Community Choice was awarded to Smithtown’s Maureen Smilow’s evergreen with berries wreath. Honorable mentions were Marti McMahon of St. James and Angela Della Croce of Bethpage.

The Smithtown Historical Society wishes to thank all the participants and contributing community members and to extend a happy holiday to the Smithtown community and thank them for their continued support.
