Page • Warren County Report • Early December, 01 Read all issues in their entirety FREE on www.WarrenCountyReport.com ‘Tis the season By Carol Ballard & Roger Bianchini Warren County Report After a ribbon cutting and Proclamation of positive cultural and economic impact on the town read by Front Royal Mayor Tim Darr on the final evening of November, on Saturday, Dec. 1, the 9th Annual Christkindlmarkt Festival was held from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Village Commons next to the Gazebo at the junction of Chester and Main Streets. The annual event, increasingly now a landmark of our local holiday season, reminds us that Christ is still an integral part of the Christmas season, along with the type of small, independent business and craftsmanship that surely provided a manger for the baby Jesus (we are pretty sure the Holy Family did not shop at Walmart). It is a wholesome, family-friendly, free event extend- ing an opportunity for local crafters and artisans to display and sell their wares. The “Winter Wonderland” included 18-inch snowflakes and ornaments in the trees, giant Nutcrackers, sing-along caroling, a Christmas concert and craft and food vendors set up in the market area. Returning by popular demand was world-famous “Hilby, the Skinny German Juggle-Boy” again encouraging audience participation and playing to lots of laughs and applause. Other events and performances included: easy viewing of Front Royal’s Downtown Holiday Parade on Dec. 1 as Christkindlmarkt provided day-long shopping options along the parade route down East Main and up Chester; a Challenge of the Choirs; the Silent Monks of the Shenandoah’s “silent” interpretation of Beethoven’s musically immortal “Hallelujah Chorus”; horse carriage To advertise in Warren County Report: Contact Alison at alisond@warrencountyreport.com • 540-551- 07 or Angie Buterakos at angie@warrencountyreport.com - 540-683-9197 Christkindlmarkt’s 9th Annual seasonal shopping bonanza Ribbon cut - where’d it go?
