The two-day festival was shortened slightly by cold and snowy weather when some outdoor events had to be cancelled, but indoor activities, including a children's play at the theater, children's activity time, Christmas craft walk, nativity scene presentations, snowball dance and several business open houses.
Organizers, led by Annette Trail, said they were very pleased with the turnout for all events, despite the cold weather.
