 PARISHVILLE – After over 30 years of creating huge miniature Christmas villages, this may be the last time for visitors to enjoy, say owners Dottie and Steve Parker.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see such a large display. We absolutely love watching all the visitors’ faces, especially the children,” said Dottie.

The last time they set up the display there were over 100 visitors, with many of them “repeat, repeat visitors, bringing more friends and relatives,” said Steve.

Visitors are welcome to visit their display from the day after Thanksgiving through the first week of January by calling 315-265-2099 or just dropping in from noon to 8 p.m. at 1331 St. Hwy 72, Parishville.  Masks are required.
