Essex: Rebecca Braimon, 8, of Essex holds up a paper mask a friend made while making snowflakes at the TOHP Burnham Library Saturday. Making one-of-a-kind snowflakes was one of the activities at the library's Snowflake Festival where kids got to also decorate cookies, enjoy hot cocoa and an afternoon of sledding.
