We went to the Christmas Lighting Festival in Leavenworth this past Sunday for the first time. For any of you that don't know, Leavenworth is a Bavarian themed town that pulls in a lot of tourists so they always have some activity going on. For Christmas, they line all the buildings and trees along the main street with lights. On particular Saturdays and Sundays in Dec they have a count down till they turn on the lights which is what we went for. Here was our evening in pictures (almost):
met some characters on the way
did some shopping, then waiting, waiting for the countdown
more waiting, notice all the people who are gathering about
they start the "ceremony" with two sets of stars coming from both ends of town
(notice no lights)
(notice no lights)
the stars converge at the pavilion
tah dah, lights are on!
nice music done by Leavenworth's HS - we knew one of the boys so that was great
more lights and yummy cocoa - we also had roasted chestnuts (somewhat questionable)
James said those are sold a lot in China - how strange is that?!?!?!
