This years theme is " Sounds of the Season". Each window represents a Christmas carol, and visitors will pick up a scavenger hunt card and try and guess which carol belongs to each window. Fun for Everyone! Plus there is a yummy life sized ginger bread house, baked right by the Chef at the Grand. You can basically follow your nose to find it!
I'd like to show you a bit of the process and what it takes to get the holiday creativity going. One of my favorite quotes is " Vision is the art of seeing things invisible". This is exactly what I get to do for my job... Take a blank space, dream up and idea and watch it become something fresh and alive. I start old school with a basic pencil drawing, conceptualizing the windows. I then gather with my crafting team , we divide up and make these simple sketches into something, elaborately detailed, hand painted and hand handsewn.
If you have not made this a holiday tradition yet, you should start! The Grand America is lovely to visit and the window stroll makes a wonderful time of year simply magical! The window stroll is open until NEW YEARS DAY! Go Enjoy!
