On Friday night, carollers joined members of the Kinderchor in the lighting of the Christmas tree at the New Glarus Depot.
There was also Alphorn music, performed by George Albright and Heinz Mattmann. This year the Alphorns were especially festive with Christmas lights wrapped around them.
Hot Chocolate and cookies were available. The event was sponsored by the New Glarus Chamber of Commerce.

I was watching TV last night and had a sudden realization! We forgot to thank Riley’s Tavern! It was one of our stops. Our people picked up their next clue there and we feel terrible that they did not make it in the original article. We so appreciate when an establishment lets us use their place as a pit stop and regret that we omitted them in last week’s story. I had never been there and was so eager to see this place that has such a legacy. One of the times we stopped there, we ran into some local people sitting on the patio enjoying the beautiful day and a beverage.
