Merry, Merry, Merry

Umass band at center between Merry Maple and Main Street

Well maybe not visible from outer space, but the Merry Maple sure stands out from 400 feet up.  I can see why it took almost a week to string all the lights.



This harkens back to the Amherst of old, and can't help but warm the heart of even the staunchest Grinch.

    1. It is an occaision unto itself. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa songs are sung. And then Santa Claus comes in at the end. But what is your real question?

  4. We saw the drone last night - my children couldn't quite figure out what it was at first, but I said I was sure it was yours :)

  5. There are a lot of kids in town with no way to get to Merry Maple, I wish there was a way that kids could all have equal access to the celebrations and events that require town resources.

    1. Everyone has equal access in the next world. Not this one.
