Shop and sample the fine cuisine found in all the participating businesses and restaurants in Downtown Wallace. Go on a residential and business winter walk and enjoy the lights, historical information, comradeship, and caroling. Pick up your map of the route and more details at any business.

As in previous years, a fleece Wallace vest and Christmas tree ornament may also be purchased to celebrate the season.

Photo by Leona DiVecchia -- click to enlarge Normally the Winter Walk in Wallace is a crisp and clear stroll through the sparkling neighborhood. In 2001, however, it was too warm, yet the soggy high school band still played on. The 2000 tree contest and the 2001 Little Miss Snowflake competition are also pictured, thanks to Debbie Angle. The non-festival winter pictures on this page were taken by Leona DiVecchia.
