here’s no better way to begin the holidays than hearing the clipclopping of horses in downtown Lawrence. That’s according to the organizers of the local Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade, which returns this year to celebrate the holiday season for the 27th year in a row.
“We think it’s a neat element for the city,” said Marty Kennedy, a longtime organizer for the parade.
The annual parade will include all sorts of horses trotting down Massachusetts Street to celebrate the holiday season in Lawrence. The horses will take to the streets at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7.
Although some horses will be ridden, others will pull classic carriages and other conveyances. Many of the horses will be dressed up in garlands, bells and other festive accessories. Kennedy said there will be six new entries in the parade this year, coming from Nebraska, Iowa and Colorado.
“We always have such a great group of (entrants) who come from all over the Midwest,” he said. Elaine VanDeventer, director of the parade, told the Journal-World in 2018 the event is always well
‘‘That’s what we’re hoping to commemorate: the role of the horse in our history and how important they were to us for survival and our daily lives.”
— Elaine VanDeventer, director of the parade
attended, with about 10,000 people lining the street. If the weather is nice, that number can reach up to 25,000, she said.
The event, which began in 1993, originally included 21 entries. In recent years, the count has risen to 85, with many riders bringing more than one horse or mule.
“The most frequent comment from the (horse riders) is how awestruck they are when they turn the corner at Seventh Street and see all the spectators waiting to greet them,” VanDeventer said in 2018. “It makes all the time they spend traveling, bathing horses and decorating their vehicles worthwhile when they see all the smiling faces and the delighted waves from children.”
Some of the entries have become traditions on their own.
VanDeventer said the Nicodemus Buffalo Soldiers entry has been participating in the event since the beginning and will return again this year. The purpose of

the entry is to educate people on the role that African Americans played in fighting the Civil War, as well as in settling the western United States.
VanDeventer said the entries in the parade demonstrate how horses contributed to transportation before the invention of the automobile.
“As well as entertainment, (the event) is intended to be educational so people don’t forget how people’s lives used to be,” VanDeventer said. “That’s what we’re hoping to commemorate: the role of the horse in our history and how important they were to us for survival and our daily lives.”

Organizers of the annual Holiday Homes Tour, which showcases homes decorated for the season, say this year’s show will give attendees a glimpse of all the city has to offer. Holiday Homes Tour Committee Chair Summer Wedermyer said this year’s tour includes a beautifully renovated historic home in Old West Lawrence,
two homes in west Lawrence and a “modern Scandinavian farmhouse” in East Lawrence.
“They are all very beautiful homes,” Wedermyer said.
“We kind of have a sampling for every taste.”
Tickets for the tour are $20, and all the proceeds from the event benefit Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit that builds homes and sells them to low-income families or individuals, according to its website. This year’s tour includes a home in North Lawrence built by Habitat for Humanity.
This is the first year that Habi tat for Humanity has hosted the event, which is now in its 15th year. The Heartland Community Health Center, a nonprofit health clinic that serves the low-income and uninsured of Douglas Coun ty, previously hosted the event.
Wedermyer said Habitat for Hu manity volunteered to host the event after a regrouping of the event’s committee.

ozens of colorfully decorated trees and wreaths will fill Liberty Hall next week for the annual Festival of Trees.
The festival begins Monday and will feature 50 trees and 24 wreaths, all decorated and donated by members of the Lawrence community. It’s a fundraiser for The Children’s Shelter, a nonprofit that provides temporary residential care, foster care placement and other services for at-risk children.
‘‘
“My favorite thing is seeing what people come up with,” said Lacee Hanson Newton, development director for The Children’s Shelter. One of her favorites from last year’s show was a tree made out of jingle bells, donated by children’s nonprofit Douglas County CASA.
“You can tell people take a lot of pride in (their work), and that really shows through,” she said.
Starting Monday, the trees will be available for viewing at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., for a suggested $5 donation at the door. Then, at 7 p.m. Dec. 6, attendees will have a chance to buy their favorite trees at a live auction. Admission to the auction is $50.
Wedermyer said the tour will include a variety of traditional and modern decorating

dible edifices of all kinds will soon be on display — and available for purchase — as the Big Brothers Big Sisters Gingerbread Festival and Auction marks its 25th year. The viewing portion of the Gingerbread Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, giving attendees the opportunity to see all of the gingerbread creations.

‘‘ It is incredible that (the festival) is going into its 25th year of existence.”
— Eric Maydew,
area director for Douglas County’s Big Brothers Big Sisters operations
“It is incredible that (the festival) is going into its 25th year of existence,” said Eric Maydew, area director for Douglas County’s Big Brothers Big Sisters operations. “Numbers of events have come and gone in that period and Gingerbread continues to be a well-known signature event in our community, and for that we couldn’t be more grateful.”
The viewing party will also feature cookie and ornament decorating, a pancake feed and a craft fair by Kansas City-area crafting organization The Strawberry Swing. A $5 donation is suggested for entry.
Tickets for the auction start at $40 for individuals and include drinks and hors d’oeuvres. They can be purchased at gingerbreadauction.com. Tables of four or eight can also be reserved for $500 or $1,000, respectively.
Also, a spirit tasting event will be held at 6 p.m. the night of the auction. Tickets to both that event and the auction are $80. For those interested in building gingerbread houses, an entry form is available on the festival’s website. There are several categories of entries, including a graham cracker category for children. Entries must be delivered to Abe & Jake’s by 4 p.m. Dec. 5.

he Lawrence Arts Center’s annual take on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story of “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” will put the spotlight on some of the area’s most talented performers.
“The cast members and their talents are truly remarkable this year, and we are going to have a truly wonderful performance because of what they are able to bring to the table,” said Arts Center Dance School Director Hanan Misko, who is the artistic director for the performance.
“The Nutcracker, A Kansas Ballet” includes a full ballet performance featuring members of the Art Center’s Lawrence Ballet Theatre, a live orchestra and the Lawrence Children’s Choir. Misko said the performance’s 141-member cast is made up mostly of dancers from Lawrence and surrounding areas. The cast also includes Jerel Hilding, an associate professor in the University of Kansas Department of Theater and Dance.
Continuing local tradition, the performance reimagines the classic tale in a Kansas setting. The show is set in Kansas during the Civil War era,

and characters include historical figures such as abolitionist John Brown. The performance also features a waltz of the flowers with a selection of Kansas wildflowers and appearances of Kansas wildlife.
Misko said this year’s performance includes updated choreography for some scenes, including the battle scene, and the debut of new costumes for the snow wonderland scene. He said the costumes took several years to create and will complete the look of the scene. The Lawrence Children’s Choir will also sing during the scene this year. Because the show sold out before opening night last year, Misko said the Arts Center has added an additional performance to this year’s schedule. The show will run from Dec. 13 to Dec. 22., at the Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., with eight performances planned. Tickets are $30 for adults, $23.50 for seniors and $20 for youth. Ticket prices include all taxes and fees, and tickets can be ordered on the Arts Center’s website, lawrenceartscenter.org.

staple of the Lawrence holiday season, the Festival of Nativities will return soon to Centenary United Methodist Church. By the time this year’s festival opens on Dec. 7, the church at 245 N. Fourth St. will have transformed into a softly lit metropolis
of more than 300 crèche sets made of varying materials in different shapes and sizes. The nativity sets come from every continent on Earth except Antarctica.
The church will be open from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 28. In addition to the weekend viewings, the collection will be open to visitors from from 2 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18.
The festival itself is free, though the church does generate modest funds from its gift shop, which will be stocked with homemade cookies, candies and other items. Hot cider also will be available.

Although Lawrence’s annual Bizarre Bazaar shopping event now draws more than a hundred artists every year, the event got its start as a small, intimate affair.
“The event began about 31 years ago because a small group of artists ‘didn’t fit’ in traditional art fair settings,” said Jerry Dowdle, who leads the event’s press team. “They started in (one artist’s) living room and met to trade, holiday shop and enjoy each other’s art.”
Since then, the “BizBaz” has grown into a hub for local artists and shoppers, featuring a variety of original and unusual handcrafted specialty items. This includes ceramics, papier-mache, upcycled art and more gift items.
This year’s sale will be at

styles, with some homes decorated very minimally and others “over the top.” The 2019 featured homes are: 1028 Pennsylvania St., 238 Bramble Bend Court, 223 N. Eighth St., 4906 Hickok Court, 1146 New York St. and 645 Ohio St. The event also includes a holiday shop, which is open to the public and will offer holiday decorations and baked goods for sale. Wedermyer
the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Live entertainment and food will be available, organizers said. Kimber Wright, one of the artists at the bazaar, said the show is a fun way to support local artists. “More than that, art ists are showing some of their best and most quirky, unique and one-of-a-kind work,” Wright said. “This is meant to be a standout show, not your run-of-themill craft show.”
said this year the shop will fea ture commissioned art pieces made from recycled materials from the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity ReStore, 720 Connecticut St. The holiday shop will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Maceli’s Banquet Hall & Catering, 1031 New Hampshire St. The homes tour will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets for the tour can be purchased at the HyVee grocery store, the Lawrence Habitat ReStore, or online at Lawrence Habitat for Humanity website, lawrencehabitat.org.
SATURDAY, NOV. 30 - SATURDAY, DEC. 21 • VAN GO, 715 NEW JERSEY ST.
By Lauren Fox lfox@ljworld.com
an Go’s annual holiday sale returns this weekend, and the young artists will be selling a variety of creative housewares to fit the theme of this year’s event, “Make Yourself at Home.”
An arts-based social service agency, Van Go employs at-risk youth ages 14 to 24 and teaches them skills they’ll need to work in the arts. The annual holiday sale, Adornment, is one of the organization’s biggest fundraisers each year. This year’s show runs from Nov. 30 through Dec. 21.
‘‘ We try to create events that will appeal to different people’s interests and different age groups.”
— Eliza Darmon, Van Go development director
Van Go art director Rick Wright discussed the double meaning of this year’s theme: The sale will feature items for the home, he said, and Van Go also “becomes a home away from home” for many of the artists. Featured items in this year’s sale include cutting boards and fused glass dishes, plates and coasters. There will also be homes for other creatures — birdhouses, rabbit hutches, insect feeders and habitats.
“They need homes too,” Wright said. The show is free and open to the public. Nearly 3,000 pieces of artwork by 30 Van Go artists will be available for purchase.
In a new twist, during each weekend of this year’s Adornment, there will be other events happening at Van Go in addition to the sale — “an extra reason to come down to shop our sale and see Van Go in action,” Van Go development director Eliza Darmon said. For opening night on Saturday, the apprentice artists will be formally introduced. On Dec. 7 and 8, LOLA Lawrence, a women’s arts collective that organizes pop-up shopping events, will be selling its work alongside the Van Go sale. Visitors can take pictures with Santa on Dec. 15.
To close out the show, Van Go will host a concert on Dec. 21 featuring Kansas Citybased harpist and vocalist Calvin Arsenia. This is the only event at Van Go for which tickets are required — they’re $15 and can be purchased at bit.ly/34CHfIE.
“We try to create events that will appeal to different people’s interests and different age groups,” Darmon said. “We invite the community to Van Go to peruse the artwork created by our young people and celebrate the holiday season.”
The show, hosted at Van Go’s headquar ters, 715 New Jersey St., is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends from 1 to 5 p.m.

Now in its 30th year, the Lawrence Holiday Farmers’ Market will soon bring dozens of vendors to the DoubleTree hotel. And while the season for fresh produce may be over, Lawrence Farmers’ Market
manager Brian McInerney said there will be something for everyone at the market, scheduled for Dec. 14.
The holiday market is an opportunity for the more than 60 vendors to switch gears and sell different kinds of products than they
normally would, McInerney said. That includes homemade wreaths, ornaments, baked goods, metal designs, body care products, wine and knitted designs. Hot breakfast and lunch options will also be available throughout the day, according to the
Lawrence Farmers’ Market website.
McInerney said the market has grown into a community staple over the past 30 years.
“Once established, the Holiday Market proved to be more than a place for shopping,” McInerney said. “It became an event for buying the most unique foods, enjoying live music and finding the most elaborate holiday decorations.”
Many of the vendors who participate in the farmers market during the growing season will also be at the Holiday Market, including Pendleton’s Country Market, Avery’s Produce, Homestead Ranch, Red Tractor Farm, Mellowfields Farm, Sweetlove Farm and Flory Family Farms.
The Holiday Market runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, at the DoubleTree hotel, 200 McDonald Drive.
