It’s an evening of music, laughter, hope, joy, and inspiration, as we celebrate The Reason for Christmas!

Day 3 – Shipshewana

This morning after another wonderful breakfast, we will visit the Menno-Hof Museum, where we’ll learn about the faith and life of Hutterites, Amish, and Mennonites! Menno-Hof’s multi-image presentations, historical environments, and colorful displays take us on a fascinating journey inside the unique world of the Hutterites, Amish, and Mennonites. Then we’ll have some free time in downtown Shipshewana for some lunch, shopping, buggy rides, or checking out the fully restored antique carousel inside the Davis Mercantile building. This afternoon we’ll head to Blue Gate’s newest musical, “Christmas Rush.” Recently-widowed salesgirl Alice and her daughter Katie are desperately seeking the one thing that makes Christmas… Christmas. Down to their last dime and last hour, they hatch two secret plans that put them on a collision course with disaster that only a Christmas Eve miracle will solve. But time is running out! Attention shoppers, the store is closing in five minutes… and all Alice needed was 3 more hours, 2 more gifts, and one small miracle!! This evening we enjoy an Amish buffet dinner, followed by “Dean Z: The Ultimate Elvis Christmas” show, featuring Elvis’ greatest hits and classic holiday songs!

Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

This afternoon we’ll head out on a half day Amish Tour, making stops at Silver Star Leather, Dutch Country Market, and Fry’s Buggy Shop. After we enjoy a family style dinner, we are treated to musical excellence as we’re entertained by the phenomenal Collingsworth Family! Their concert will be filled with remarkable piano & trumpet playing, singing, and more!
