Community events are a HUGE asset to this town. There is something going on each month, and sometimes each week.

This week we enjoyed some holiday festivities, including a light parade, craft markets, and local holiday pop-up shops. 

Downtown is decorated each year. We love to grab a hot drink from Violette's, the local coffee Cafe, and stroll main street with our friends.

The only bad part about it is getting the kids to hold still for a picture! (And even that gets us cracking up)

The emptiness of the street might also evoke a sense of calm or solitude, while the bright lights of the wreath create a contrast against the night, symbolizing hope and joy during festive times. Overall, it captures a serene yet festive ambiance typical of holiday seasons.
