What a great holiday season kickoff! The grand opening of Christmas Village was a blast! Between the Santa run, the parade and the fireworks, the Village was buzzing with excitement. Per usual, it was extremely hard to keep up with the crowd, even with two burners going outside making cocoa.

Kevin was interviewed on video by a couple of local celeb's (who'd previously made HBO documentaries internationally) as well as by the Standard Examiner (for THIS article).

And above all this, FIRST prize of the night goes to Josh Haacke's two sons who gutsily surfed the crowd with their cocoa shouting, "HOT CHOCOLATE! RIGHT HERE! SUPPORT SHOES FOR TOTS!"

We have a great season ahead of us!
