Our First Ever ... "An 1860's Christmas in New Market"
This was an exciting time in New Market! Many locals appeared in period dress for  the occassion. The weekend kicked off with a traditional Lutheran worship service at the historic Emmanual Lutheran Church. Rev. Derek Ritenour portrayed the Rev. Dr. Socrates Henkel with amazing results! Following the service there was carroling through the streets with Troy Marshall (Supervisor of Historical Interpretation, New Market Battlefield State Historical Park) giving a wonderful history lesson in regards to the town. There was an old time parade, an 1860's Santa, Belsnicklers, Civil War encampment and much more! The biggest question following this even, "Will you do this again?" Answer, YES! Check back for the scheduling for 2006!
