Defiance Holiday Festival

A Jolly Time Was Had By All at the Holiday Festival Parade!

What a great day it was in Defiance at the holiday festival and parade on Saturday, December 6.  The parade awarded prizes for:

• Best Float Entry (sponsored by The Inn at Defiance)
• Best "Dog" Entry (sponsored by Wine Country Gardens)
• Best Overall Pet Entry (sponsored by Greatview Bed & Breakfast)

Below are some of the pictures of the festivities that day:

Christmas in Defiance

The day of the Christmas Parade, December 7, the Inn was decorated to fit into the holiday spirit!
The parade started at Wine Country Gardens, passed the Grapevine Bistro & Visitor Center, The Katy Trail Bike Rental, The Robin's Nest on the Katy Trail, The Defiance Roadhouse, then up the hill past The Inn at Defiance, ending at the Yellow Farmhouse Winery.

Although it was a cold day which kept some of the pets away from the pet parade, there were still quite a few float and pet entries. The merchants all had hot chocolate and cookies to keep you warm, the Yellow Farmhouse offered Santa photos for your pet, and the church hosted a delicious lunch with very tasty chili and yummy cookies for sale. It was a fun (and filling) day!
