Milton Chamber’s Holly Festival attracts thousands to Cape Region

The Milton Chamber of Commerce Holly Festival, held Dec. 10, attracted thousands of Sussex County residents and visitors from as far away as Ohio. Attendees strolled throughout downtown Milton and enjoyed the convenience of two shoppers’ buses. A new addition to the festival, the buses made stops at three vendor locations: H.O. Brittingham Elementary School, Milton Fire Hall and Milton Public Library, where more than 100 juried artisans and crafters were on hand. At the Milton Historical Society, the chamber offered free fun for children including professional face painting, kids’ activities and pictures with Santa Claus.

Anne Brown, Milton Chamber of Commerce president, said, “The event attracted more people than ever before, mostly because of our advertising in and outside the region. We are grateful for those who attended, our many vendors, chamber volunteers and staff. A special ‘thank you’ to our Main Event Sponsor Milton Mail Boxes LLC; and sponsors iHeart Radio, Nitan Soni Group of Northrop Realty, Irish Eyes Pub and Restaurant, Techno Goober, Avery Hall Insurance Solutions, Mansion Farm Inn, Beebe Healthcare, Jeanine O’Donnell State Farm, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services PenFed Realty, The Holistic Coach Debbie Balick, Women’s Club of Milton, and Friends of Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge.”
