\nThe Minturn Winter Market returns for a second weekend this Saturday, Dec. 8 from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. snow or shine. The winter version of their popular summer market features vendors showcasing unique holiday merchandise and gifts. Many of the booths are manned by artisans from the valley or the region, offering some truly “made in Colorado” items you can’t find in a shopping mall. In addition to the shopping, there will be carolers, s’mores, and a visit from Santa. For more information, visit http:\/\/www.minturnmarket.org\/winter-market.
\nAfter the Minturn Market, travel down valley to view the tree lighting and enjoy more holiday cheer at the Home for the Holidays event in Gypsum. Visit with Santa Claus and his reindeer, enjoy cocoa and cookies at the Gypsum Library and listen to live music by the Eagle Valley High School Band.
\nWarm up with the Gypsum Chili Cookoff, offering samples of different kinds of chili made by the best chili chefs in Gypsum. Think you have the winning recipe? If so, your crock of chili could win you some cash. First place earns you $200 and a hand carved commemorative wooden spoon, second place gets you $100 and third place gets $50. For event info and chili cookoff rules, go to http:\/\/www.townofgypsum.com\/events\/home-holidays.

\nSanta will be busy this weekend. He’ll not only be making stops at Minturn and Gypsum for their events, he’ll also be present at Santa’s Workshop on Friday, Dec. 7 from 3-6 p.m. at Imagination Station above the Lionshead Welcome Center (second floor). Stop by to visit with Santa, who is bilingual, have a visit and take a photo with Jolly Ol’ St. Nick. Santa’s Workshop is free for children of all ages. Stay a while and make crafts including personalizing photo frames, making ornaments and decorating cookies. For more information, please visit http:\/\/www.vailrec.com.
\nKids will also enjoy a trip to Neverland to see Peter Pan this weekend at the Vilar Performing Arts Center. Students from the Vail Valley Academy of Dance and Vail Youth Ballet Company will whisk you away into the magical world of Peter Pan.
\nThis action-packed, family-friendly production features all the characters you remember from J.M. Barrie’s novel, including the beautiful Wendy and her brothers, the villainous Captain Hook, a posse of Lost Boys, a sea of mermaids, the meddling Tinker Bell and of course the beloved Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up.
\nPeter Pan is presented by Vail Friends Of Dance. Vail Friends of Dance is a non-profit organization striving to enrich the arts through dance. Each year, Friends of the Dance provides thousands of dollars in scholarships.
\nShowtimes are at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7 and Saturday, Dec. 8. There is also a matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8. For tickets go to http:\/\/www.vilarpac.org.
