Okay, you are about to see one of the reasons why I LOVE this small town...Christmas at the Bear Hotel. It isn't actually a hotel at all, but rather a really nice warehouse where they store the large bears that can be spotted all over town in the Spring and Summer months. It's kind of a long story really. In a nutshell, artists are commissioned to sculpt and paint these bears, which are then auctioned off and the proceeds go to fund various organizations. At Christmas time they turn the "Bear Hotel" into a winter wonderland. This year the theme was Christmas on Mars (or something along those lines). It was AWESOME! The kids entered the building and could look around at "Martian Art" (aka art pieces done by local artists depicting things from a Martian perspective). Then we learned all about how Santa visits the children on Mars as well as on earth. We blasted off in a spaceship, made Martian cookies with Mrs. Claus, played loads of games, won oodles of prizes, took family photos, and met the big man himself. It was incredible....Thank you Evergreen Bank and Brady Adams (the man behind much of the magic in our community)...you have made it to the top of our "Good List" this year for sure!
