One of the newest additions to the Christmas in Montrose celebration was a Progressive Hayride which made five stops among the many lovely homes decorated for the holidays. Tickets were required for the visitors who were welcomed by the homeowners, given some historical facts about their homes, entertained with music and served delicious food. The event was received with such favorable response from the public that it has continued to grow to an even bigger and better event each year.
This year's Christmas in Montrose weekend celebration will see vendors open on The Green beginning Friday from 4:00-7:00pm and Saturday from 9:00am to 3:00pm. In addition, there will be five tours available this year for adults only, 21 years or older. The tours are a ticket only event and will be available beginning Sunday, October 13th with links through the Christmas in Montrose website: christmasinmontrose.com.
Tour #1 is the Snowflake Express with one at 4:00pm and another at 6:00pm. Participants will board the Hay Wagon with Christmas Lights and ride up and around Lake Avenue and beyond stopping to visit homes, hear a bit of history and enjoy special treats. The generous, welcoming hosts will share stories and keep you singing as you make your way from house to house which includes a special trip to the "Top of Montrose."
Tour #2 is a onetime History Mystery Christmas Tour which begins at 5:00pm at the Historical Society Museum where participants will step back in time and become one of Montrose's famous citizens of the 1850's. They will stroll up and down the avenue to hear stories, learn about the town's history and gather clues to solve the unsolved mystery. This is a strolling tour so dress appropriately. Participants will enjoy dinner served at the Temperance Table Restaurant.
Tour #3 is the Silver Bells Historic Church Tour with one at 4:00pm and one at 6:00pm which begins at the Montrose Bible Conference where parking is available. Participants will hop on the "Church Bus" and experience church in a whole new way! They will take a ride through the local church history and visit several of the area churches and former meeting grounds, while listening to stories of history, mystery and more. Enjoy music and even an old-fashioned tent meeting. A variety of hosts will walk participants through the history of the buildings, its parishioners, and rich beginnings. The tour will include a stop at Interfaith, housed at the former Methodist Church for a meal and then end at the RL Torrey home back at the Bible Conference.
Tour #4 is the Sugar Plum Tour beginning at the Pink Arrow and then stopping at the location of the barn that was used by the undertaker who performed autopsies between 1920-1930. Learn about the famous architect who built the house nearby. Then they will have an opportunity to stop and learn the history of the 1816 house which was the site of the Silver Lake Bank in Montrose and now is the home of The Center for Antislavery Studies (CASS). Included in this tour is a ticket for the Endless Mountains Theatre Company's (EMTC) first showing of their December production: Farndale Avenue Christmas Carol. This is a comedy which is a stage version of A Christmas Carol at The Reimel Theater in The Slanted Art building.
Each of the five tours is limited to 25 and all tours are a rain or snow event so participants should dress warm and appropriately for the weather. Watch for more details on Christmas in Montrose Facebook Page and website christmasinmontrose.com and be prepared because tickets sell out quickly.
