Small town life at it's very best!  The Chino Valley High School West Gym was transformed into a glorious winter wonderland on Friday and Saturday nights by a combined effort of the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce and Eric Woods from The Summit Church - along with many other dedicated individuals and committed sponsors.

This first annual Chino Valley Hometown Christmas was joyously attended by capacity crowds of parents and kiddies, all of whom had that special holiday sparkle in their eyes!

The spectacle to which they flocked was filled with breathtakingly beautiful, decorated trees of amazing variety and creativity which lined a wandering path. Even the path's hand-made boundaries deserve mention here - the kind of labor of love with which small towns are so blessed.

Commercial, personal and non-profit trees and little villages shared space with lovingly wrapped packages to create the perfect setting for the musical and theatrical presentations gracing the stage. Performances by several local schools' music and theatre departments and the local performing academy greatly added to the merriment.  Refreshments were also served.

Woods and Linda McFarland of the Chamber seemed to be everywhere at once. But, don't worry if you missed the occasion; they promised that we can look forward next year to this priceless season starter.
