It was just a few days after Halloween, but the first of many heavy snowfalls during a record-setting November hit the day before the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event started Thursday with a craft boutique and luncheon at the Davis Pavilion. Admission to the craft boutique was free. On Friday night and throughout the day on Saturday, admission to the activities in Pioneer Village was $2 per person or $10 per family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guests could stop at the Bakery and grab a hot scone with honey butter, blueberry muffin, cookie, Navajo taco or a funnel cake then explore a variety of activities while listening to the Victorian Carolers from Centerville. The activities included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Taffy-pulling, Santa’s Post Office and crafts for kids<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Indian storyteller Toker Timothy with his two wolves, Kodashaw & Trouble<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Quilting bee in the old PVRR Train Station<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Drawing for a Christmas quilt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mountain man exhibits in a teepee<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Spinning & weaving demonstrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Holiday food booths<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The craft boutique continued in the Davis Pavilion on Friday and Saturday where there was also a steady stream of live music provided by local performers. Here’s a schedule of the entertainment line-up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas celebration returned to Pioneer Village for five more years. It would be much longer before Christmas decorations adorned the Village again, but it wasn’t for a public event. After Lagoon closed for the 2015 season, Pioneer Village became Christmas Land for a Hallmark Channel movie of the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
