Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Get into the holiday spirit this season when you 
traverse the quarter mile walking trail -- 
illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights -- 
at the Monument Hill/ Kreische Brewery State Historic 
Sites in LaGrange. 

"We're situated on top of a bluff overlooking the 
Colorado river. Overlooking the town of LaGrange."

Texas Parks and Wildlife's Dale Martin.

"So you have all of those lights off of the cliff. And 
we decorate this trail with all kinds of Christmas 
lights. And it's just a special atmosphere day or night up 
here - it really is. And at night it is especially beautiful 
with all those lights shining and the cold air. And we route 
this trail through the old Kreische house, which was built 
in 1855 through 57. We have coal oil lamps and candles. 
And most importantly we have a lot of home grown hospitality 
with a little Christmas cookies and punch, and entertainment. 
We'll have Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus for the kids, and all 
kinds of scheduled entertainment for the five nights we're 
going to be doing this."

The event takes place December 9 & 10, and 16 &17. 
 
"The last two nights, on the 16th and 17th, we're going to 
have a choir, called A Chorous Sine Nomine, which is Latin 
for Choir Without a Name. And they sing a number of 
different languages, and they sing acapella, without any 
instrumentals. That choir is very popular."

It's $3-dollars for adults, $1-dollar for children under 12.

section of the Texas Parks and Wildlife web site.
