The Williamsburg Revitalization and Economic Development Committee
held their first volunteer clean-up day at the former Williamsburg School on July 16, 2022. The goal was to clean up vandalism, beautify the property in advance of the Community Fair, and to maintain the usability of the property ahead of potential revitalization activities.

Old Man Winter contestants
The jail house was an awefully busy place… more photos on facebook.
First Annual Winter Carnival was a great success.
An amazing wonderland was created by many long-and-hard working volunteers to bring mid-winter joy and cheer to all. There were many games with many prizes, Kings and Queens were crowned, a couple of Old Man Winters kept everyone in stitches, face painting for all who dared, raffle doorprizes, and a food concession for the hungry. A big thank you to the organizers, sponsors, and participants for making such a joyful (and economical) event! Hope to see you again next year! 1/11/2020
Luminaries and Christmas Lights
The Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Department and Community Volunteers assembled, arranged, and lighted 900 luminaries for Christmas eve. Especially magical in the darkness of no street lights. Thank you! Photo by Jimmy Spencer. 12/25/2019
