Funded by a grant from the National Writing Project, the event provided children with activities like writing letters to Santa and crafting their own books.

Locals like Joelle Tritelli emphasized the importance of early literary exposure for child development, connecting the community through creative writing events as part of the vibrant, artistic spirit in Shepherdstown.
