The Holiday Season is Nearing

The cold winds are beginning to blow, but Holiday season activities are really starting to warm up.

In case you didn't catch it this past weekend, you can still catch performances of "I Remember Mama" at the North Platte community playhouse in downtown North Platte on November 18 and 19. The show starts at 8pm at the Neville Center at 301 East 5th Street.

The 22nd Annual Carousel Tour of Homes is Saturday, November 19th from 1 - 5pm and 7 - 9pm. See some of North Platte's most beautiful homes decorated for the Holiday season. For ticket information call 532-5613.

Santa will arrive at the Platte River Mall on November 25th, just in time for the busiest shopping weekend of the year!

One of the most popular Holiday displays is the Winter Wonderland in Cody Park. Hundreds of animated figures show off the spirit of the season. It is open nightly from 5pm to 7pm November 28 to December 24. The Winter Wonderland is the anchor of the Old Fashioned Christmas at Cody Park that occurs the first three weekends in December. Activities will include hayrides, caroling, hot apple cider, marshmallow roasting, donkey cart rides and carousel rides.

The forecast doesn't call for snow, but my kids at least still have their hopes! Enjoy this flurry of activities in the run-up to Christmas. Remember, there's a long, cold winter left after the Holidays!
