2nd Annual 'Old Fashioned Christmas' Celebration Nov. 28
November 1, 2020 at 10:18 p.m.
By Staff Report-
The celebration is open to the public, free of charge, and no registration is required.
The event will be held outdoors on the grounds of Oakwood Resort, with activities starting at 6 p.m. around the tree near the Oakwood Inn. Wawasee High School choir and bands are slated to be on hand.
At 6:15 p.m., the countdown to lighting 7,000 lights on Oakwood’s 70-foot tree begins. After the lighting, Oakwood’s Christmas magic begins with activities sure to get grandma, grandpa, moms, dads and children of all ages in the Christmas spirit like olden days.
Starting at the Oakwood Inn, stroll up the lighted path to see Santa and Mrs. Claus to hear Christmas wishes while taking precautions to keep Santa and children safe from COVID-19. Take pictures with the kids, listen to an elf read the “Night Before Christmas,” stop along the path to listen to the old fashion barbershop quartet sing carols and stay warm by a yuletide log and sip some hot chocolate while munching on a cookie.
Watch out for the Grinch and other characters roaming the grounds, and they’ll be available for pictures too. Follow the path up past the Live Nativity to the historic Oakwood chapel to hear the Bible’s Christmas story read. Social distancing is set to keep everyone safe.
A horse-drawn sleigh ride around the park will be happening, and for those who stop by the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce’s booth, a child’s craft is free to take home. Face masks or a scarf covering your face is required.
The Oakwood Coffee & Creamery and The Pier and Back Porch restaurant will be offering specials to guests of the Old Fashioned Christmas celebration. The Syracuse Chamber encourages residents to come out early to shop small business Saturday in Syracuse from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A prize patrol will be out and about from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in town, checking in to see who is shopping. Special thanks to our prize sponsor, Mohawk Pier & Lift.
