Get into the Holiday Spirit and visit North Conway for some shopping and the 13
th Annual Tree Decorating Festival at
Settlers' Green. North Conway is a magical place to be for the Holiday Season. Snow sets the stage for a winter wonderland and it would not be complete without Christmas trees!
The Christmas tree decorating Festival will start on November 22nd with over 100 live petite trees from Weston's Farm of Fryeburg, Maine. The trees will be grouped together in various parts of the shopping center at Settlers' Green and will be decorated by non-profit groups, schools, daycares, customers, and tenants to get into the spirit of Christmas. The trees will be pre-hung with tiny white lights, and additional lights can be added. The ornaments used will be "mostly" homemade. The decorations will not be typical as judges like to see originality, humor, themes, quality of ornaments and overall appearance. All trees must be decorated by Friday, December 4th at 4 P.M. Winners will be announced at the 13th Annual Holiday Tree Festival on Saturday, December 5th and will be left on display through the Holiday Season.
The Festival also has visits with Santa, caroling, free hot chocolate and horse drawn wagon rides. Mt. Cranmore ski area will also be trucking in their own snow to create a free tubing part at Settlers' Green. Join in the fun and make your reservations to stay at the Old Field House to enjoy the Holiday Tree Festival.

All aboard! The
Polar Express is coming to North Conway, New Hampshire and the
Old Field House Inn has tickets! The Polar Express is a must for children of all ages, including their parents. The Polar Express is a magical journey to the North Pole and is a rendition of the children's book. During this journey to the North Pole, the evening includes a train ride, tons of elves, and of yes, Santa!
The story focuses on a little boy who has been told that there is no Santa. Come dressed in your pajamas and share the experience of this little boy as he waits for the sound of Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. As the story unfolds, he hears the hissing steam as the Polar Express stops outside his window, ready to take him and other children to the North Pole.
The evening is complete with the telling of a wonderful story, cookies, hot chocolate, gifts, and Christmas carols. Two performances per day will happen on November 27-28; December 3-6; December 10-13, and December 17-21. The Old Field House Inn has created a special package for the Polar Express which includes a 2 night stay, pizza on the first night, movies in their movie theater, breakfast and of course, tickets to the Polar Express! Make sure to reserve early as they are sure to sell out.
I can hear them calling now...all aboard for the Polar Express!!
