The entire village mobilized, heading to Muldoon Park and the Tinsel-n-Lights winter celebration. Emma and I pulled on coats, gloves, and wrapped scarves snuggly around our necks. I opened the front door. We departed leaving the warm, cozy house and stepped into the frigid December night. Our boots tapped along the sidewalk.  Flashing lights reflected off the asphalt where a fire engine cordoned off Chemung Street at the end of the block forcing traffic to turn up Lincoln Street.  A crossing guard banishing a huge blinking light stopped traffic for us to cross the street as a team of Belgiums, sleigh bells ringing, headed in our direction pulling an enormous hay wagon full of people.<\/p>\n<p>When we reached the festival the hum of conversation, Christmas music and lights filled the park; people were everywhere.  Tea candles flickered inside paper lunch bags which lined the sidewalks bordering the square. Several burn barrels, red and orange flames licking at the chilly night air, served as a gathering place where people enjoyed the heat and chatted. Lengthy tables decked out with a wide array of delicious, prepared foods stood near the bandstand. Three ice carvers, spaced some distance apart, worked with chainsaws, chisels and die grinders. A spray of tiny water particles formed a frozen mist silhouetting the carvers as they turned ice blocks into sculptures.  Meanwhile, families created a line stretching across the lawn as they waited their turn to ride in a horse drawn wagon. Not far away, the Lion\u2019s Club awning sheltered Santa in his sleigh ready to hear holiday wishes from youngsters waiting in another long line.<\/p>\n<p>At the corner of Park Avenue and Park Place near the Vietnam War Memorial a chain link enclosure surrounded several reindeer and their keepers. Mike Cary, a veterinarian, owns and operates <a href=\"http:\/\/www.santassecondstringreindeer.co.cc\"\/\"title=\"Santa's Second String Reindeer\">Santa&#8217;s Second String Reindeer<\/a>. Through his business, he conducts farm tours, sells reindeer, and brings reindeer to festivals and fairs. A young man, James Steffen, inside the chain link fence with Santa\u2019s team answered questions from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have some experience with horses, but have never been this close to a reindeer. Do they kick?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the good thing about reindeer. They\u2019re safer and smaller than horses. They don\u2019t kick and for the most part are pretty docile. The only time they can be dangerous is when the bulls are in rut or when a cow has a new born calf,\u201d said James.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what about their antlers?\u201d I asked<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe antlers bow inward, so unless the reindeer loses one antler exposing the points on the remaining antler, there isn\u2019t anything to worry about. Reindeer lose their antlers every year and grow bigger ones, even the females have antlers. In fact, Santa\u2019s sleigh is probably pulled by female reindeer since the males lose their antlers between November and mid December,\u201d replied James.<\/p>\n<p>We said farewell to James.  A Zumba group, Fitness Senena, danced to music in the middle of Pennsylvania Ave. A crowd gathered on the sidewalk to watch the exercise group go through their routines. The dark night was lit by holiday and outdoor work lights.  The buzz of chainsaws and ice grinders mingled with the muffled murmur of people talking. We stopped to speak to a man carving a snowman. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s incredible, how long have you been carving?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been carving 16 years. I started as a professional chef and 11 years ago started an ice carving business called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sculptediceworks.com\/\" title=\"Sculpted Ice Works\">Sculpted Ice Works<\/a>,\u201d said Mark Crouthamel. He pointed to the ice carver some distance across the park working on a pair of doves and continued, \u201cThe man carving the Peace Doves is our lead carver, Neil Trimper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sculptures are absolutely amazing. Do you just carve ice in the winter?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, we carve all year round at parties, festivals, anywhere there is a need for an ice sculpture,\u201d replied Mark.  <\/p>\n<p>We moved on passing Santa and made our way through crowds near burn barrels and long lines waiting for hay rides. On the way home, we passed three teams of draft horses hitched to wagons. I waved to Max Weed, whom I had met months ago during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drafthorseclub.org\/\" title=\"Draft Horse Days\">Draft Horse Days<\/a> in Lockwood, NY. He had two teams of Haflingers hitched to hay wagons filled with children and their parents. The third team of Belgiums belonged to Al Fargnoli the owner of Sweeney\u2019s Market in Apalachin, NY. Sleigh bells rang, the chilly air took our breath away and our fingertips nipped by frost tingled. We walked the few blocks to the warmth of home filled with happy memories of the Tinsel-n-Lights celebration.<\/p>\n<p>*The Tinsel-n-Lights holiday festival is a free community event provided by local businesses and donations from the public which has been held for the past four years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tinsel-N-Lights from Pat Miran on Vimeo.
