Orchy on Holiday
Orchy loves to travel to locations and festivals that honor holiday celebrations of cultures from around the world. This stop’s highlights included Santa’s workshop; the “Pathway of Peace,” lined with 56 smaller illuminated trees; and, of course, the main Christmas tree that has been ceremoniously lit for over 100 years.
In the years since the first celebration in 1923, the location has moved and the event has grown larger, but many of the traditions are decades old. Hargrove, Inc. has been responsible for decorating the tree since 1954–before there were premade string lights. To make the light strands, they manually installed sockets every foot on several hundred feet of wire and screwed in and tested every bulb. When bulbs became a finicky, the owner would climb up and fix them in a Santa costume!
While Orchy would look good in a Santa suit, he’s grateful he can buy lights from the store for his holiday displays! Do you know where Orchy travelled for the holidays? If so, then submit the form below for a chance to win an Orchard prize pack.
