The Christmas Village

The St. Mary's County Fairgrounds held a Christmas Village this past weekend. This new amusement was complete with a train, a "sleigh ride", vendors, a giant snow hill, crafts for kids, a church service, and ice skating. The admission was free and people seemed to be enjoying themselves, even though the snow hill was a big inflatable, the ice was plastic and the giant sleigh was pulled by a big tractor (Southern Maryland style). The "ice" skating was amusing to watch. The skates were real and everyone "skated" for 15 minute sessions. They really enjoyed themselves as they fell down!!! 😳 There was quite a large turnout. Next year, if they hold it again, they could use more food vendors, a few church choirs or christmas karaoke, and/or a Christmas tree or wreath decorating contest.
