Old Economy Village organizers welcome all to come and walk along a candlelit cobblestone street and step inside the historic buildings to catch a glimpse of times past.  

"We come here every year for the Christmas event. Nineteen years ago, we were married here in the gardens. The property is getting more open, more accessible, and the weather is beautiful," shared Chris Dilla,  owner Bocktown Grill. 

"This is the most people I have ever seen here and the first time  I went to listen to the choir. It was wonderful, it gave me goosebumps,"   added Dilla. 

"We had a great turnout on Saturday with just over 1,000 visitors in attendance," Site Administrator Micheal Knecht shared.

"Everyone seemed to enjoy the event from exhibits and demonstrators  to choirs and craft vendors. There was  something to please everyone."
