Less than a week after it announced a modified Christmas in the Village celebration, the Ephraim Business Council was forced to make more changes to its winter event.
The decision to further alter the event came after more health advisories and emergencies were issued at the state and local levels. The organization scrapped its Saturday community tree lighting event, which would have allowed community members to get out of their cars and watch the ceremony at Harborside Park. Instead, motorists will be able to drive past the lit Christmas tree while also getting a chance to wave to Santa Claus. Other Christmas in the Village events remain largely unchanged from the original announcement on November 16th. On Friday, kids can go to participating Ephraim businesses to pick up a decorate-your-own mask kit and holiday snack. You have until Monday to reserve some different holiday items from Ephraim Moravian Church as it works to raise funds for Operation Secret Santa, while the village’s branch of the Door County Library will offer grab and go activity kits from December 5th to December 12th.
