Christmas Eve in Wilmer Wilmer does Christmas right. It is a great place to go for a drive to see some beautiful Christmas light displays. Plus they host a fun evening of fantastic fireworks on Tuesday, December 24 (Christmas Eve). The Wilmer Community Hall (Conrad Kain Park) is the place to be at 8 pm as the show begins. There will be huge fire pits along with free hot chocolate and candy canes. It is nice. Most of the community will be out cheering and celebrating the season.

Merry Christmas from Wilmer to all of us. Let’s join them on Christmas Eve.

Horsethief Creek Pub This coming Monday, December 23, a ‘sleigh-ful’ of talented local musicians will be gathering at the Horsethief Creek Pub & Eatery in Radium to perform Christmas tunes for our pleasure.
