'Winter Village' Draws Friends, Family To Warsawan's Home

Friends and family of Bart Holle won't be disappointed this Christmas season. The weekend after Thanksgiving, Holle began constructing a 36-square-foot winter village full of houses, people, trees and a landscape covered in realistic snow. The yearly tradition of the village has been in his family for nearly 20 years, and Holle took full responsibility of the project after his mother's death in 1996. "This is something my mom used to do all the time," Holle said."And after she passed away I started building it myself. "I didn't build it one year, but then people started calling me a Scrooge, so I won't be doing that again." The village is inside what Holle calls "The Barn," a large structure in his back yard.From the outside, the building appears to be used for storage, but inside is a lounge Holle built for recreational purposes.
