Holiday activities at Rockmart historical museum.

- By AGNES HAGIN Senior Assistant Editor

The Rockmart Historical Museum, located at 133 Marble Street downtown, will be at the center of 2014 holiday events in Rockmart.

Kicking off the Christmas season will be the second annual Festival of Trees, which will be a part of the décor at the Museum.

The tree in the History room will be decorated with homemade orna- ments from the Methodist preschool children.

In the foyer will be a 9foot tree decorated with donated Christmas ornaments from the people of Rockmart. Anyone can give one of these by placing it in a collection basket at the museum.

A tree will be placed in the Welsh area and decorated with ornaments from Wales.

Additional­ly, a small tree will be located in front of the mirror from Marble Hill. Volunteers will decorate the interior in a festive holiday theme.

The Festival of Trees will continue through December 23.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, a Christmas bazaar will be held with a silent auction. Residents and visitors can pick up some special baked goods and visit with your friends on this date.

This event benefits WELSHfest and its three sponsoring organizati­ons: Rockmart Historical Museum, Euharlee Valley Historical Society and St. David’s Welsh Society of Georgia.

The Museum will be represente­d with a vehicle in the Rockmart Christmas parade and will be open that Friday evening, Dec. 5.

Additional­ly, the facility will be open during the Rockmart in December tour of homes on Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday afternoon, Dec. 7.
