Crow River Christmas celebrates 3rd year
-
- Luminaries and lighted trees showcase Crow River Christmas in Rockford’s Riverside Park after dark.
-
- Rockford area residents, volunteers, students and families join forces, and vocals, to carol in the candlelight
-
- Construction paper, glitter and glue … the main ingredients of any respectable holiday craft.

- One of the highlights of the Crow River Christmas is the annual “Chili Contest, and a bargain at that.
-
- Next stop, hot chocolate. Horses provide the transportation between Riverside Park and the Historic Stork House in downtown Rockford, where hot chocolate and tours were available.

- Event attendees get warmed up “inside and out” with chili entries from local contestants.
