A Very Merry Berthoud

An all-day holiday festival across town: photos with Santa, carolers, ice skating, festive markets, crafts and cookie decorating, letters-to-Santa mailboxes around downtown, blacksmithing demonstrations at the Pioneer Museum, and a cowboy Christmas, before everyone gathers on Mountain Avenue for the Parade of Lights at 5 pm and the tree lighting that follows. The Winter Craft Fair runs at the Recreation Center the same morning.
