Back by demand the Bon Bon Boutique has set up the gazebo from last year.

http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/Events/gazebo-parker-ddc.jpg

Decorated in lights, big gilded red bows, and green garland the gazebo gives a friendly and simple atmosphere. When stepping inside the circle of the gazebo is followed by tables with sweets and treats. Toward the center was four tables that squared off to serve as a payment counter, get drinks, and also to house two chocolate fountains: one of rich milk chocolate and the other equally rich white chocolate.

Come One, Come All! It's WinterFest!

December features a monthly workshop for adults plus one for children. Don't let your kids miss it!

Enjoy a cup of apple cider or egg nog while you shop!

All seminars and workshops are held @Matilda's Bloomers flower shop (one block west of the marketplace). Instructed by Matilda Estwick, Floral designer, Horticulturist, Member of the Society of RhyDinian Florists (SRF) and Founder of the RhyDin Horticultural Association (RHA).

"Growing Tall" Date: Sunday, December 9th Time: 1 p.m - 3 p.m. Cost: $2 per child (includes all supplies)

Why do some plants look taller or grow like a vine? This month children will learn answers to that question and more through story time, a classroom lecture and a hands-on craft. They'll leave the class after making a wire topiary with a vine wrapped around it for the holidays. Best for kids ages 3 and up. Free candy canes!
