Middlebury Lions Club's Holiday Ornament For Sale

Post from Lions Club of Middlebury Connecticut:

Middlebury Lions Club 2014 Holiday Ornament — This year’s ornament features the nostalgia of The Middlebury Store, a Middlebury institution for over 100 years.

First known as The Bissell Store, the building was moved from its original site at Westover School about 1908. In
1940 it was rebuilt after it was destroyed by fire. Over the years it operated under several names, including The Middlebury Store and Ferrante and Delaney.

This building also housed the Post Office and for many years overlooked the Judd’s Corner Trolley Stop. The structure, though modified, became Perrotti’s Pizza and exists today as Pies and Pints at the intersection
of West Street and Store Avenue.

Proceeds from ornament sales are utilized to support the many local as well as national Lions Clubs causes. Ornaments are provided with a ribbon for hanging at $20 each or $25 with a stand for placement upon a table or mantel.

They are available the first week in December at Sullivan’s Jewelers, Larry’s Package Store, the Middlebury Tax Collector’s Office at Town Hall and at the Parks and Recreation Department at Shepardson Community Center.

They were produced by Hestia Creations of Marblehead, Massachusetts in hand-painted Acrylic.
