The Greening of Red Feather, in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

The Greening of Red Feather is always a festive event in our little Village.

The Holiday Craft fair with over 30 booths offers a great opportunity for finding some unique gifts for those on your shopping list. Among the items for sale are pottery, cutlery, wood crafts, carvings, photography, jewelry, hand- crafted Christmas items, paintings, home-baked goodies, Christmas wreaths and (one of my favorites) homemade soap from Shiloh Soapworks.

I always stock up on this pure and fragrant soap; there are so many scents to choose and they make great little gifts and stocking stuffers. It's something I look forward to, so I hope she will have a booth there this year too!

The festivities stretch throughout the Village, in the P.O.A. Building, the Library and the Fire Barn. There will be food, drinks and a bake sale.

In the library you'll find the Children's craft table where they can get into the holiday spirit by handcrafting a special item for the Season. Santa will also be at the Library between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on SATURDAY!

You can cut your own Christmas tree in the forest or at Beaver Meadows too!

It's a great way to kick off the Holiday Season, get your fresh cut Christmas tree, do a little shopping and have a great time in the quaint Village of Red Feather Lakes!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you enjoy your day with family and friends and reflect upon all the blessings in our lives.

The Holiday Season is upon us, and only a handful of weekends remain to get ready.

Mark your calendars for December 5^th and 6^th and plan a trip up to the Greening of Red Feather!

Sunday Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
