 This time of the year is not only a time for giving but also a time to remember and to practice family traditions. For this week's Northwoods Adventure, our Taylor Archer took a walk through the Enchanted Pioneer Village at Paul Bunyanland to experience the holiday tradition there. Paul Bunyanland is best known for their antique museum during the summertime, but it was a father's vision to transform it into an enchanted village during the holiday season. It was a dream of Dick Rattamakers years ago that someday he'd like to light up his village and the dream came true and people really enjoy it. That dream came to life by Dick Rattamaker's children Alan and Lois who have been recreating the Enchanted Village for nearly 10 years now. It's an unique thing because we actually got buildings that you can come into and look at the stuff that we have buildings full of antiques and now at this time of the year they're all decorated. Some of the buildings are heated some of them aren't but it's something that you can walk through and there's nobody else around that I know of that you can do that with. People of all ages are welcome to enjoy the different antiques and light decorations on display. They come in bundled up and it's been year after year. We just had a big group come in tonight that it's a family tradition and it's just they can come and spend the whole night here. We got fires on both ends and it's just family fun. A lot of people come back because that there is so much family fun here they're able to just spend a little time with their kids. Their kids like to see all the lights and they like to see what's inside of the buildings. Lois and Alan spend four weeks putting everything together and making sure that the popular displays and attractions make an appearance every year. It's got to be the train this year yeah that that's one of the big things. I think mine is the church I really enjoy setting that up we have several angels that we put up and each year it changes out a bit but it's um that's the fun one. And to see all these antiques and the 30 buildings that display them visitors can come by at no charge all they have to pay for is their hot chocolate. It's kind of our payback to the community for their support we do not charge anything we do accept donations if they can if they can't that's so fine too. It's just for people something for them to do and it doesn't cost them anything to do it you know and that's that's one of our main goals you don't see that anymore. But what you do see is a tradition taking place at the Enchanted Village every year. In Dearwood for this week's Northwood's adventure Taylor Archer Lakeland News.
