Hometown Christmas in the Foothills, November 29
Journey up to the foothills on Saturday, November 29, and start your Christmas Season off with a stroll along the boardwalks under twinkling lantern light in Gold Trader Flat, a replica town of the 1800’s located next to the Yuba Feather Museum, at 19096 New York Flat Road in Forbestown.
The tempting aroma of sweet candied apples and spicy fat sausages cooked over an open grill will whet your appetite. Hot chocolate and cups of hot spiced cider will warm you as you listen to the music of carolers, fiddles and banjos and visit at the old stable where Mary and Joseph watch over the Babe in the manager. Sit in the chapel for awhile and enjoy organ music played on the old pump organ. Characters from the past might include fur trappers, and traders, elegant ladies in beautiful gowns and gentlemen in top hats and of course, a visit from Father Christmas.
Shops and tents will be filled with Christmas wares and you can find the perfect gift for that special someone. If you would like to sell handmade goods there are 46 spaces available on a first come basis for a $25 tax deductible donation per space. For those wishing to share a space there is an additional cost of $15 per person.
Hometown Christmas will be celebrated whether we have rain, snow or starlight, so bundle up in your warm coats and hats and enjoy an evening in the foothills Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 29 from Noon to 8 PM. For further information call 675-0219.
