Christmas in the woods

 On Saturday October 12, Amanda and I went to Christmas in the woods in Columbiana Ohio. It's about an hour and a half drive from my house. This is a huge even held in the woods. 

As usual there was a long line of traffic waiting to get in to the parking lot. It was a beautiful day though.


Here's a shot of the parking lot that gives you a bit of an idea of just how many people go to this. 

I didn't take a whole lot of pictures because the crafters don't like pictures being taken. I limited it to some of the decorations.







And what Christmas event would be complete without a Santa.

Most of the stuff there is very expensive but I did buy a few things. I got a bag of homemade dog treats for Gibbs, one small Christmas present and for me a bag of maple coated cashews. They were $7.50 for an 8ounce bag but they are so delicious. They do have a website Dennis Farms. You can purchase items from their website but they also have a list of places you can buy their products. It looks like quite a few different states where they are available.

I never heard of this place. It looks huge, and like there are many buildings. What a fun trip!

That sounds like so much fun...but when I go to places like that, I am a bit overwhelmed abdcfood is about all I buy. You and amanda would love Nashville, Indiana..knownnlocally as little Nashville.

I am not ready in my mind to start attending Christmas events, but on the flip side, I am thinking about what I will do to decorate for Christmas this year. I was hear last Christmas, but I moved in on the 12th so I did not do anything special. This yr, the tree will go up and I am sorting place things outside and in the house in my head....just not ready to get it done, till after Halloween!

It looks like fun...but crowded. At least you had nice weather! I'm not ready for Christmas...I don't even have my Halloween stuff up yet. Yikes!

I've been to events like this in the past and enjoyed walking around but
haven't been to any for a long time. I just don't like crowds in my old age. :)
