DISCOVER! | NOVEMBER 26, 2016 Community | 13 KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER WINTER NIGHTS & HOLIDAY LIGHTS Estherville hosts annual holiday celebration on Dec. 1 Horse-drawn hay rides, Christmas carolers and the opening of Santa’s house — sounds like a snapshot from a Currier and Ives painting. Or it could possibly just be the view down the street in downtown Estherville during their Winter Nights & Holiday Lights celebration on Thursday evening, Dec. 1. There will be plenty to entertain everyone in the family. “Downtown will be bustling with retailers open with great deals and sales, carolers, tuba players, hay rides and Santa’s House is open for the first time,” said Lexie Ruter, the executive director at the Estherville Chamber of Commerce. Santa’s House in downtown Estherville is open every Thursday night from 5-7 p.m. and Saturday mornings from 10 a.m.-noon. Kids can stop by and tell Santa what they want for Christmas. Another element of fun for Winter Nights & Holiday Lights is the horsedrawn carriage hay rides that are offered free to anyone who wants one. “We have the coolest horses that pull the wagon. I don’t think they are Clydesdales, but they are big, huge horses and they are so pretty,” Ruter said. “It’s a fun way to see the town all lit up.” Many of Estherville’s shops host open houses and have special treats like wine samplings or holiday goodies like cookies. After sitting on Santa’s lap, taking a tour of the brightly lit town in a horsedrawn hay ride and sneaking some goodies while doing a little shopping, the next sense to satisfy would be the ears. And Estherville has that covered, too. Carolers will be singing Christmas tunes as they roam the downtown streets. They also make stops in stores to delight the shoppers inside with some carols. In addition to carolers, event goers can tune their ears to Tubas. There will be two Tuba Christmas concerts during the evening. The show at 6 p.m. will take place at the Estherville United Methodist Church and the 7 p.m. show will take place at the Estherville Public Library. The 7 p.m. performance is a sing-a-long and all voices are invited to join in on the singing of some Christmas carols. Whether your tastes run to horsedrawn rides, carolers, shopping or Tuba Christmas, Winter Nights & Holiday Lights has something for everyone to enjoy. And over the past 15 years the crowds have varied depending on the weather. No matter the weather, it’s a great way to spend some time enjoying the holidays with the whole family. “I love Christmas and our Winter Nights & Holiday Lights, Tuba Christmas celebration is a kind of oldfashioned night with carolers singing and the horse-drawn, hay ride and the lights,” Ruter said. “Every single building in downtown Estherville is lit up and you can ride a horse-drawn wagon looking at the lights. It’s a really magical night.” F At a Glance: WHAT: Winter Nights & Holiday Lights, Tuba Christmas WHERE: Downtown Estherville, IA WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 1, from 5-7 p.m. COST: Free CONTACT: 712-362-3541 ONLINE: www.estherville.org Christmas: The year 2016 is the 43rd anniversary for Tuba Christmas concerts/events which are presented throughout the world. Tuba Christmas was conceived in 1974 by Harvey Phillips as a tribute to his teacher and mentor William J. Bell, born on Christmas Day, 1902. Through the legendary William J. Bell we reflect on our heritage and honor all great artists/ teachers whose legacy has given us high performance standards, well structured pedagogy, professional integrity, personal values and a camaraderie envied by all other instrumentalists. The first Tuba Christmas was conducted by Paul Lavalle in New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza Ice Rink on Sunday, December 22, 1974. Estherville | Iowa
