Hundreds celebrate Christmas at Gordon

Anonymous The Salem News Mon Dec 07, 2009, 01:00 AM EST

WENHAM — Gordon College hosted a four-day Christmas event that wrapped up over the weekend.

Hundreds showed up from all over the North Shore to participate in tractor-pulled hayrides, a tree lighting, a screening of the film "White Christmas" and two holiday concerts.

Gordon College students drummed up attendance by passing out homemade cookies and invitations to neighbors and white chocolate bars to local businesses. Students also hosted a sustainable-ornament-making class for children, using recyclable objects such as newspaper and pine cones to create Christmas tree ornaments.

The weekend ended with the annual Christmas Gala on Saturday night, a showcase of the college's many vocal and instrumental ensembles.

Peabody tilts at state's 40B housing law

PEABODY — City officials here are hoping to piggyback on an effort by neighboring Danvers to get mobile homes defined as low-income housing.
At a meeting of the Finance Committee last week, city councilors agreed to seek the advice of the city's representatives on Beacon Hill in joining a home rule petition that would allow mobile homes to be declared low-income housing in Danvers and Salisbury.
