Local Shelter Transformed For Christmas Festival

Some volunteers in Lexington celebrated the season of giving by preparing a homeless shelter for a Christmas festival.

Members of the group ‘Team Bob’ spent the day Monday decorating and setting up tables at the Community Inn on Winchester Road.

Other volunteers spent the day cooking.

They were preparing to bring in everything from salad to dessert for the more than 100 people who slept at the shelter each night.

The group said Santa would stop by Monday evening after dinner.

Each guest would receive a holiday gift bag that was filled with items such as socks, hats and gloves.
