Madison Downtown Merchants presented the Wassail Fest on December 2 in historic Madison. The event kicked off the season with a tasty sampling of wassail, festive music, lighting of the Christmas Trees, shopping and eating. Participating merchants were: South and Pine, Main Street Café, Old Black Bear Brewing Company, Hook a Frog Fiber and Fun, The House of Pilates, Pure Barre, Filthy Gorgeous on Main, Madison Station Antiques, Lemon and Lavender, Murphy Homes, Noble Passage Interiors, Balch Realty, Kathleen’s Bridal.

This was the first year for the event, but Tammy Hall of Main Street Café, one of the organizers, proclaimed it very successful, with 1000+ attendees. Hall reported that a Madison resident said of the event, “This is great! Please have this every year!” n
