UDDERLY SMOOTH
Udderly Smooth is based out of Ohio and we love their products. We personally love the hand cream, as it’s some of the best we have ever used. Your chapped winter skin will appreciate the hand/body lotion.
Udderly Smooth is not a greasy lotion, it goes on smooth and immediately soothes your skin. Do you have a loved one in your life that is battling cancer? Udderly Smooth offers a soothing experience for those with skin issues brought on by different types of cancer treatments.
CHRISTMAS BY THE LAKE: CLEAR LAKE, IOWA
Celebrating 22 years of holiday tradition. The Clear Lake community welcomes thousands of visitors to the annual Christmas By The Lake celebration Dec. 2-4, 2016, in Clear Lake right off of I-35.
This is the place to be if you enjoy holiday fellowship, fun and festivities, music, food, games,movies, carriage rides, and oh yes, a lighted Christmas parade and fireworks display. Don’t forget to dress warm.
HENDRICKS COUNTY, INDIANA
Hendricks County is home to the Martinsville Candy Kitchen in Martinsville, Indiana. Here you can view candy canes in the making, all year long.
There’s something to be said about a place you can indulge in a holiday favorite, the candy cane. Hendricks County has much more to offer throughout the holidays, including the Winterland Christmas Light Show.
The lighting of Danville’s Christmas tree also marks the grand opening of the Winterland Christmas Light Show just down the street at Ellis Park. Drive through the park with the family while listening to Christmas music on the radio that is synchronized with the light displays. I can’t even begin to guess how many thousands upon thousands of lights there are in this display, highlighted by a 30-foot-tall Christmas tree. The light show is open daily from Nov. 25 through Dec. 30, closed on Christmas Day.
