The upstairs ballroom has been transformed into the North Pole by Jeanette Lawson. Little visitors will be able to visit Santa Claus on days he is there or take the time to mail a letter to him and put it in the mailbox to be sent off to the North Pole.

Tired from all the cookie baking and helping Santa with his packages, Santa surprises Mrs. Claus with breakfast in bed the day after Christmas. The decorator for this room is Kris Lawson.

Julia Garcia of Decorator's Daughters, Inc. has transformed the hotel kitchen back in time to its early Western roots. Visitors will be taken back in time to what Christmas looked like in Grandma's kitchen. Here too the young visitors will be able to decorate a cookie to enjoy.

The hotel dining room is ready for an elegant meal. Decorator is Neoma Yount of Yount Interiors.

A elegant parlor decorated by Patricia Taylor of Patricia Taylor Interior Designs will welcome visitors into the hotel to start their tour.

There's a new sheriff in town! Sheriff Steve Lambert has tried with the help of his deputy, Angela Berner, to bring a little Christmas cheer into our historic jail for the prisoners. Here too, the visitor will be able to partake of hot cider and cookies!
