The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Over a year ago, I was neck deep in the writing and rehearsal process for a new show.  What was being created was a contemporary take on an old-fashioned tradition, one steeped in nostalgia and unbelievable talent from by-gone days, we were creating a Christmas Special.  I was so consumed with the holiday spirit and with recreating wonderful memories for an audience to get carried away on, an idea struck me.

Riverton, Wyoming is a special place.  The town itself has always held a part of my heart and so many wonderful memories have been made here.  This town is inherently festive, filled with volunteerism, and completely engulfed by the holiday season.  Many of the moments I most treasure were experienced here.   As a result, I created the Riverton Holiday Festival and hope that through it, you all can build some incredible memories of your own.

In the next couple of months, some of Riverton's citizens will blog about their favorite Holiday memories and tell us what they are most looking forward too in this festival.  Stay tuned!

A couple of comments. For many years my family has attended the CES Festival of Trees and it has become a part of our holiday activities. I noticed your Holiday Parade conflicts with the CES event. Next year please try to have the parade on a different night. The CES event is always the first Friday in December. Your parade would work very nice the following day.

Also, I noticed your Holiday Festival ends on January 5th. There is a sizable Christain Orthodox population in the area. Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. This is due to the difference in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
