House held Saturday
[November 24, 2025]
On Saturday, November 22nd, the
Village of Elkhart held an open house for its downtown businesses.
These businesses had placed Christmas decorations outside and inside
their stores, and some were playing Christmas music. A number of the
businesses were offering hot apple cider and cookies for free to
customers. Several people from Needs and Goals were going around and
adding fresh evergreen branches and decorations to the plant pots
outside the businesses.

The Route 66 Model Raceway was
open, with several people shopping around inside. The Country
Bumpkin also had several people shopping, and the owners were
offering cider and cookies to their shoppers with a smile.


Birdsong Books and Vintage was also
bustling with shoppers. They had many wonderful Christmas
decorations from the front to the back of their store. The Elkhart
Station had Christmas decorations and several Christmas themed items
for sale. The Talk of the Town was open for business, with their
plant pots being one of the first ones redecorated.

Horsefeathers had decorated their
hanging lights and doorways with Christmas string lights. Many
people were coming in to get a seat at The Wild Hare Cafe. The
library was also open down the street, and had just finished
decorating for the fall and Christmas season.
While it was a bit chilly, the weather did not keep people from
attending. Most of the parking spots on the street were taken by
shoppers looking for a good time and good food.
