Mittens, scarves, hats and more can be found decorating a tree in downtown Washington. The annual Mitten Tree is now up at the Washington Public Library. Donations of mittens, gloves, hats, scarves and socks are welcome to be placed on the tree in the library. The goal is to decorate all of the tree with donated items. Store-bought and handmade items are appreciated. All of the donations will be given to local children in need during this holiday season.
