We love coming up to the Tannenbaum forest each December and this year was no exception. It’s held in the festival barn and is generally open for around 5 weeks a year. The tree offerings are from local merchants and are always a delight! The giant windmill tree is a constant and a kid favorite. The number of trees has increased steadily over the last six years, with this year having 25 + trees present. Santa, reindeer and other Christmas pleasantries are often seen and give you a good reason to go check things out — do check the times however as the aforementioned pleasantries are not always present. All in all, this is a great place to kill a little bit of time during the holidays, a great way to check out a few local businesses and see how they support the community, and a good chance to donate a little bit of money to the Children’s Hospital, who tends to be the recipient of most of the donations. It doesn’t take a long time to get through, but it’s always worth going to.
