Hometown Holidays

Verrado always has something special going on, and this past weekend was our Hometown Holidays celebration. The bloodmobile was here all day taking donations, there was a pancake breakfast in the morning, and a vendor gift shopping fair during the day. At night the town square was lit up - palm trees included - and they had all kinds of activities for big and little kids alike including making 

gingerbread houses, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores, two snow pits for the big and little kids to enjoy snowball fights (hysterical), a horse-drawn carriage/hayride around the square, the middle school band and chorus performing,  the tree lighting, and, of course, Santa. Vendors had soup, hot chocolate, and other winter favorites, and it was cool enough out to enjoy them. Definitely geared more for families, but a great event even without kids.
