ARTFULLY AVOIDING THE LANDFILL (& driving my husband crazy) ONE PIECE OF JUNK AT A TIME

More of the Dow House & Events

I do believe the Dow City Christmas extravaganza, A Christmas Carol was a big hit.  I was able to get more pictures  of the Dow House all decked out for the holidays.

The Dow House
The structure itself is beautiful, inside and out.  The grounds are well kept year round and the carriage house is an attractive addition.


For sake of simplicity, here is a collage of highlights from inside the house.  There were so many wonderful things!  The chandeliers were probably my favorite.

























There were activities for everyone all day long and into the evening.  The cookie exchange had lots of goodies including these adorable little melting snowmen.


The Christmas Market Place is where I spent most of my time... debuting my candles (finally)!  I was pleased with the results.  My Kenny - well, really my daughter's Kenny - was a great help.  And so was Mardi.  Hope they had as much fun as I did!


My favorite Street Guy:  Ye Olde Popcorn Vendor!


The grand finale of the event was a lighted Christmas Parade.  Wow!


I believe that is Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past.


And a lighted Christmas Tree in the middle of the street.

God Bless Small Town America!
