A Shopper’s Paradise!
Calling all shopping aficionados! You’ll be thrilled to know there are over 400 vendor booths at the Holiday Fair Market. Imagine strolling through an enormous collection of art, apparel, crafts, food, and even pet supplies. There’s something for everyone, including a treasure trove of creativity from our small business community!
Fun for All Ages
In addition to shopping, families can indulge in an abundance of fun at Kringle Village! According to Marty Elliott, the mastermind behind this year’s event, there’s so much planned, including an enchanted tea party where everyone can dress up in their finest holiday attire. It’s a perfect opportunity for a magical experience that spans generations!
Elliott promises an immersive weekend with tons of activities like a movie night featuring the classic holiday film, Elf, on December 6 at 7 p.m. Families can enjoy inflatables, crafts, and the much-anticipated epic snowball fight arena. Yes, you read that right! Imagine hurling over 3,000 snowballs indoors with your loved ones—what a sight that will be!
Say Cheese!
As if that’s not enough, Santa will be in attendance every day, ready to meet the little ones. Stephanie Goodale, Director of Sales and Marketing, shared the excitement, mentioning that guests can snap their own photos with Santa—an absolute win for those looking to save a little money on holiday photography.
Special Events for the Little Ones
On December 7, you won’t want to miss the chance for your kiddos to shine in the Little Miss Kringle pageant. Open to ages 8 and under, they’ll compete in three age divisions: Baby Miss Kringle, Little Miss Kringle, and Miss Kringle. Every participant gets a trophy, while the winners will walk away adorned with a tiara and sash!
