MELROSE — For over 25 years, Melrosians have come to the Brad Hutchinson Real Estate office for this creative craft. It nicely coordinates with the Melrose Chamber’s Home for the Holidays (HFTH) each year. Most get dropped off by the HFTH trolleys. As locals enter, they choose a decal and find a spot in the crowded office to color the decal (first presented to us by Scott Boyages of Geiger.com back in the late 1990s, that kicked off the tradition and is still supplying them today).
Then, the kids head over to Brad and he helps them get sized up for a T-shirt. A short wait in line continues to one of our agents that take the decal and iron it onto the shirt. Many of the kids leave wearing their self-made T-shirt and a big smile! Franklin Square businesses host Santa and his hayride, and Santa makes stops at BHRE to greet the kids. Hundreds of shirts later, HFTH wraps up for another year.
This year, of course, we will have to do things a bit differently. Be sure to stop by our office at 193 Green Street on Saturday, December 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to pick up your “make-it-at-home” T-shirt craft bag curbside. Check our website for contest information bradhutchinson.com or give us a call with any questions, 781-665-2222.
Hope to see you there!
