The second day of Village of Ashley Country Christmas was drier but very windy and cold.  And it started snowing about the time that the train got into town.  It didn't stick to the ground but it put everyone in the Christmas mood. 
There are lots of things to see and do while in Ashley so be sure to check everything out.  Here are pictures of many of the different activities.


Horse drawn wagon rides. 


Santa's reindeer.



Swing dancers entertained on the street. 






Our honorary mayor for the day, Bruce Andersen.


Kids enjoy the petting zoo and the pony rides.
