Do you have photos of other Hopewell Valley holiday events and traditions that we can share?
Hopewell Snowflakes – 2016-2017
The snowflake lights that decorate Broad Street in Hopewell from November to February were a community project sponsored by the Hopewell Business Association. In 2018, the HBA donated the snowflakes to the Borough, and they have continued to glow since. These 2016-17 images are from the HBA.
Hopewell Gazebo Park – 1997
These images of a snowy Hopewell Borough Park (Gazebo Park) in 1997 show the iconic gazebo (see Welcome sign), playground equipment, and arched bridge over the Beden’s Brook. Courtesy of photographer Roger Labaw.
We welcome photos of other holiday events and traditions in the Hopewell Valley that we can share.
