WINONA LAKE - Carriage rides, carolers and gingerbread house making are all a part of this year's Holiday Festival in Winona Lake.

The Village at Winona will hold its Holiday Festival Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Artisan Court in Winona Lake.

One of the activities planned is gingerbread house making at Rodeheaver Auditorium from 10 a.m. to noon.

There are 100 gingerbread houses available, and kits can be purchased for $10 each and include trimmings, accessories and candy. Adult supervision of children is required.

Reservations for the gingerbread house making can be made by calling 574-268-9888.

Other activities include carriage rides, illuminated outdoor decorations, carolers, free hot cider, Christmas specials throughout the shops and entertainment by local elementary schools performing their annual Christmas programs.

Admission to the Holiday Festival is free.

Carriage rides will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are $20 per ride for a group of six people.

People who stop in the Billy Sunday Visitors Center can see a holiday exhibit on the subject "Images of the Holidays."

The exhibit features more than 300 artists from Warsaw and Winona Lake kindergarten classes. Those who visit the center receive a free pewter holiday ornament for holiday purchases at Village shops.

"The festival is a good way to start the holiday season and the gingerbread house making is a great family bonding experience," said Brent Wilcoxson, managing director for the Village at Winona. [[In-content Ad]]
