Edwardian Christmas at the Van Orden Mansion
Edwardian Christmas festivities at the Van Orden Mansion will kick off this year on Friday, December 13 with the Wine & Appetizer Premier, followed by the Jingle Bell Open House on Saturday, December 14. Guests at both events will be able to experience “The Lands of Christmas” with each of the 11 trees in the mansion decorated to different themes such as Toyland, Candyland, Winter Wonderland and eight more “lands.”
Decorators this year include Amy Terbilcox, Miriam Thompson, Lindy Larsen, Gretchen Roltgen, Dave SaLoutos, Laurie Dummer, Samantha Pittman, Kathy Calabrese, Mona Larsen, Bekah Kate’s & the Baraboo Range Preservation Association. SaLoutos will be creating an entire room called “Kitschmasland,” a nostalgic look at holiday decor from the 1950s through the 1970s. The display will cover the gamut of holiday decoration, from whimsical to beautiful; including a treasure trove of campy Christmas kitsch.
The premier on December 13 at 7 pm will be an adults-only party featuring festive appetizers and holiday spirits such as wine, Christmas beer and traditional mulled wine. Guests will be able to experience the mansion at night with subdued lighting and holiday music performed by “My Trio” composed of Richard MacDonald on clarinet, Inger Clemens on cello and Gretchen Roltgen on piano.
Sponsors this year include Baraboo State Bank, Bekah Kate’s, Community First Bank, Wisconsin River Title Consultants, MBE CPAs, Bank of Wisconsin Dells, Meyer Insurance, Terrytown Plumbing, Shields Fireside, Time Federal Savings Bank, Wegner CPAs and Weickgenant Accounting.
