A Small Town Christmas
If you enjoy wonderful dining and nostalgic Christmas experiences then this is the trip for you! Discover the lights of Christmas tree lane at night, an old fashioned community parade where everyone comes out to watch, and small towns that have Main Streets decorated for Santa. And did we mention dining… at several of the Valley’s best restaurants? And there will be time for picking up a few unique gifts too in the shops along the main streets of the valley’s finest communities.
