Holly Days Kicks Off the Holidays

November 26-27, 2010


Egg Harbor Business Association presents Holly Days on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. The two-day event kicks off with Breakfast with Santa on Friday, November 26, from 8:30-10:30am at Carrington Pub & Grill at the Landmark Resort. There will be arts and crafts and other fun-filled activities including coloring and cookie decorating. Enjoy a delicious breakfast and, of course, visit with Santa. Prices are $7.99 for ages 12 and up; ages 3-11, $4.50; and 2 and under, free. Great for all ages, you may also enjoy a hayride around the resort property.

Additional Holly Days event highlights include and elf hunt, caroling, horse drawn wagon rides, and a tree lighting ceremony. Children 12 and under may participate in an elf hunt throughout participating retail establishments while shoppers collect tickets while they shop on Friday, November 26, to enter to win Mistle Dough.

Thanks to the generosity of numerous donors, children ages 4 -12, are able to purchase holiday gifts for their family at lower than retail prices at the Family Centers of Door County Christmas Store for Children. The children, with the help of Santa's elves on Saturday, November 27, from 12-2pm at the Bertschinger Center, pick out their gifts and wrap them while their parents wait. This provides an element of surprise for all family members and teaches children numerous lessons about budgeting, choices, and giving.

New for 2010 is a tree decorating contest. Area businesses will compete to win ‘Star’ awards.

A Murder Mystery Dinner Theater will be presented in “A Christmas Carol to Die For” on Saturday night at the Landmark Resort. Return to Merry Ole England and that fateful Christmas Eve when Scrooge was transformed by the Spirits of Christmas into a kind and generous soul. Then who would've wanted to kill the old man the very next night? There's a whole village of suspects including his own nephew, the poor clerk and his wife, a half-crocked maid and a local schoolmaster. Check-in, cocktails and mingling begin at 6:30pm. The program usually ends within one hour of the conclusion of dinner (around 9:15pm).
