Imagine mule drawn carriages meandering through a merry and historic town while carolers sing in front of storefronts and shops, businesses serving holiday cookies and cheer. Children's eyes twinkle as they line up to visit Santa, adults busy shopping the town's retail stores and bustling Christmas Market in the State's oldest train depot.
The resident camel parades up Main Street before settling in at a live Nativity scene. Diners eating in restaurants turn towards the darkened street to see a beautiful glow, lit only by participants of the lighted parade. Onlookers gather round to watch fireworks rain over the State's oldest working courthouse. This is how Dayton, Washington kicks off the Christmas season every year on the day after Thanksgiving.
