An event so good, even the Grinch is coming to witness the holiday lights and take a peek at the magical elf village. A Winter Wonderland is a drive-thru event that will engage and delight the entire family showcasing 50 decorated Christmas trees sponsored by local businesses and North Haven residents. There will be gingerbread houses, a princess court, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and even snow!
The event is being organized by Jill Dechello, editor of North Haven Magazine. She has worked on several of these events over the years.

“I create these events because I believe the world needs more kindness and I think our town is the epitome of generosity,” said Dechello. “I’m always amazed at how supportive the small business owners in our community are. It’s a difficult time for them right now, but they are stepping up and helping support this event.”
The event benefits the Italian American Youth Foundation, Inc. (IYF) who will use the funds to enhance the holidays for disadvantaged families in North Haven and surrounding communities.
“We want to help and change people’s lives for the better and help them cope with what they’re going through. Love needs no words. By giving you don’t have to say anything, you just give and help people,” said Nick Casella chairman and director of IYF.
