Castle Rock Starlighting
Tonight was the annual Starlighting Ceremony in Castle Rock. There is this gigantic rock on top of a hill right by downtown that is the namesake of this place, and they put a big star up on top of it like 74 years ago to be lit every Christmas season. It is pretty cool and they make a really big deal of it, with carriage rides, a Fire Station Chili Supper, Christmas carols, bounce houses, a live Nativity Scene and tons of other fun stuff. It was a pretty nice night (weather-wise), and we all had a great time. Noah said his favorite part was the hot chocolate!

We just moved to CR in June, and we've been so excited about the Starlighting! It was such a lovely evening, and I was so happy to be in a place that still celebrates "small-town style". I found your blog while searching for pictures of the lit star, since my phone camera wasn't up to the task, and I'm trying to blog about the evening too. :) Guess I'll have to take the "good" camera out and get a shot one of these evenings....
that's a gorgeous spot!
kenny and luke would have said that the hot chocolate was their favorite part too - it's a kids thing.
jen,
i'm sure you heard it at the ceremony but the poem on the morrow's blog is gorgeous.
