Our little village is getting ready for Winter Wonderland. At last night's planning meeting, I got to meet Mrs. Claus. Santa was sick. I also met some very nice elves. Last year 400 children came to write letters, have pictures with Santa, listen to a story from Mrs. Claus and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate at our little community center. Local business owners can open up their places for other activities for visitors and we will have the fun of participating this year. We will be one of the stops on the hop-on-hop-off hayride.
Kids can decorate a pine cone with sequins and glitter to take home. If I run out of pine cones, I have a back up plan for making snowflakes. We'll also have a Christmas shop, featuring Becky Economides' works of art. She crafts beautiful carousel horses and fashions adorable clay ornaments. She is designing a woodlands animal series for the Christmas shop. Visitors can sample home baked Christmas goodies and have a hot cup of cider.
Shauna, at 92 Beans, our cute little coffee and ice cream shop, will have ornament making going on. Ryan and Amy, new managers for Greer Peaks will be decorating cookies with kids. They have a great sledding hill if we have good snow! Dolores has an adorable shop called the Grey Goose and will have some yummy treats available.
I am getting excited for lots of folks to come and experience a little Christmas wonder, but in the mean time, I've got to get busy, busy, busy, decorating and baking!
