FESTIVE FUN. The York Public Library's Festival of Gingerbread Houses was once again a hit at the town's annual Festival of Lights Celebration. Pictured here is one of this festival winners, York resident Sarah Garfield with her winning gingerbread depiction of the famed village of Hogsmeade from J.K. Rowling's acclaimed "Harry Potter" series. The gingerbread creations from professional bakers, local residents, families, students, community organizations and businesses are on display in the library's Children's Room.

SERVING UP HOLIDAY FLAVOR. The Annual Christmas Tea, held at Jefferds' Tavern in York Village, was once again a favorite event for visitors to York's Festival of Lights Celebration. The Christmas Tea, which is a benefit for the Museums of Old York, features delicious desserts made by local volunteers and an endless supply of good old fashioned tea, cider and conversation.
