WOODBURY â The 36th annual Woodbury Christmas Festival invites all to share in the presentation of community spirit. Since its inception in 1985, local churches, civic, youth, school and business groups have offered residents and visitors alike a wonderful variety of events and activities that capture the spirit of the season in this beautiful town. Due to Covid-19, many of the events held during the Christmas Festival are not able to go forth this year.
The town will sparkle with the efforts of residents, businesses and Winter Lights of Woodbury as they present a bright and festive touch with coordinated lighting along Main Street.
Raising alpacas - and creating fiber art - goes on despite COVID-19 challenges
Sara Arnold
BERLIN - Laura Busky loves alpacas - farming them, making fiber art out of their fleece, and operating a successful business at North Brook Farm, 96 South St.
She won’t let a pandemic stop her, even if she has to do some things differently, like her Holiday Shoppe.
In 1983, Busky’s husband Mike bought the turn-of-the-century farmhouse that was once home to a chicken farm with some horses. The couple met in the early 1990s, and married in 1994. Mike had always wanted to return the property to an operating farm and, as a lifelong knitter, Laura liked the idea of having fiber animals.
