The Arlington Historical Society enjoyed a festive holiday season! We co-hosted the inaugural Diane Cravens Holiday Tour of Homes, decorated Fielder Museum with Christmas cheer, and hosted Kringle Village at Knapp Heritage Park. Plus, our resident artist drew an impressive rendering of Fielder Museum for her annual Christmas card!
Six Flags turns into a spooky funhouse for Fright Fest, with shows, attractions, decorations, and other thrills throughout the park. The park feels like a movie set, as they utilize strobe lights, smoke machines, sound effects, music, props, costumes, and other elements to bring the fantasy of Halloween to reality. I went on Halloween night, which was the perfect time to be there. I imagine they make it a bit spookier on Halloween, and it was certainly a fun and surreal night.
I served on the City of Arlington’s Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) from September 2020 to September 2023. It was a worthwhile experience that taught me several things.

Division Brewing—a popular brewery in Downtown Arlington—offers a rotating selection of more than a dozen beers on tap. While they are partial to IPAs, they also do many darker beers, including stouts, porters, and others.
