Winter 2006
The Winter Wonderland of the VillageThe days have grown short and the nights long.... We waken to frost and thoughts of snow and ice and holidays - and all of the wonderful events to enjoy in our charming little town during this breath-taking season! Winter in the Village is a magical time. From the decorated Christmas tree gracing Main and Oak Streets to the chimes of the Village clock ringing through the frosty air, Zionsville offers a picture perfect snow globe of a winter wonderland to its residents and visitors.
Forget the malls and the traffic and the crowds. Take some time to explore the Village shops. Check out the dazzling window displays and the unique gift giving ideas offered by the wide variety of specialty and antique shops in town. It’s a sure bet you’ll find it a much more rewarding and relaxing experience. And be sure to top off that day of shopping and strolling with lunch or dinner, a steaming mug of hot chocolate or even a spirit or two at one of many of Zionsville’s unique restaurants!
Don’t miss these "wondrous" events:
Christmas in the Village.... Enjoy "A Christmas to Remember" Carolers, reindeers, elves and Santa (and the Mrs.) himself.... Saturday and Sunday, December 2nd and 3rd. Always a Village favorite for young and old alike, this is an event not to be missed. Visit Santa, pet a reindeer and discuss the merits of carrots versus milk and cookies with the elves themselves. Meet Frosty the Snowman and the Christmas Mouse - listen to the mellow tunes of Tom Wright "Radio Nights" and enjoy a free carriage or train ride! .... Shops will be open late and offering lots of "special treats"! Call the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce for more information at (317) 873.3836 or visit www.zionsvillechamber.org.
