Estes Park 2015 Tree Lighting

So I braved the cold and wind and headed to downtown Estes Park for the 5th annual Tree Lighting.


There were a lot of other people out and about this evening bundled up and enjoying the free hot chocolate and cookies, s'mores and of course Santa Claus!


There were other celebrities too - Mr. and Mrs. Frosty the Snowman


And Blue Santa - here in Estes Park - Blue Santa helps the Estes Park Auxiliary Police Department deliver food and gifts to the elderly and infirm during the Christmas season, while Red Santa of course takes care of the children. 


There were Christmas Carols sung by Mountain Echoes (a local youth choir) and The Mountain View Church Choir and an honoring by the Estes Park Non Profit Resource Center of the Philanthropists of the Year for Estes Park - Youth, Business, Katie Speer Individual Award and Enduring Service Award. 

Then there was the Tree Lighting. 







This is what truly makes Estes Park look like a picture postcard  - there is supposed to be snow this week - that will just add to it. 

Welcome to the beginning of the Holiday Season in Estes Park.
