DUFUR - On Saturday, Dec. 9, Dufur will celebrate their annual Hometown Christmas, a classic, village Christmas Celebration that offers a full day of activities for all ages.
Starting at 9 a.m. and going until 4 p.m., St. Alphonsus Church will be hosting a holiday craft bazaar. Of course, no holiday celebration is complete without a visit from the jolly man in red — beginning at 11 a.m., bring the kids to share their holiday wishes at WE3 Coffee & Deli, or at Dufur Market after 1 p.m.
At the historic Balch Hotel, beginning at 1 p.m., peruse an art sale and boutique gifts, while Jacob Williams Winery pours tastings of their red and white wines. An amuse-bouche plate from the Balch Bistro will be available to pair with your wine, along with a light menu and festive drink specials to get you in the spirit.
For hands-on fun at the Balch, experience a holiday wreath-making workshop from McCarthy Family Farm of Mount Hood, Oregon, or dip and decorate your own chocolate-covered berries, cookies and pretzels with Berries by Felice. Pre-purchase is recommended for wreaths; required for berries.
Pop into Dufur Valley Tavern at 3:30 to decorate Christmas cookies, and then at sundown, pull up a front-row seat to Dufur’s famous, twinkling tractor parade. Following the parade and before indulging at dinner, gather at the Balch for a relaxed & cozy holiday mixer. Enjoy live old-timey bluegrass music, beer and wine, light bites and holiday merriment.
To complete the day, at 6:30 p.m., the culinary team at Dufur Market is whipping up a roast beef feast with all the fixings, paired with local wine from the ShadowBuck estate vineyard. Contact the Market at (541) 965 – 2819 for more information and to reserve.
