The first "Christmas Tree Walk" was held in the Kalona Community Center, merchants decorated trees. It was held for several years and then discontinued as a holiday activity only to begin again in the 1990's at the B-4 building (now known as Grandma's Corner Shop), and again it was held for several years as a silent auction.
The latest "tree walk" was held at the Kalona Historical Village Visitors Center and at that time a
Silent Auction was held and lucky winners took trees home. That too, was discontinued.
This year the Trees will not be sold, they will be returned to the owners after Christmas. The tree will not be a tree that you may pick up to be a tree at home for Christmas). Anyone decorating a tree, individual, groups, churches, or schools, will have their name attached to the tree.
