Santa, Mrs. Claus and their entourage made their annual journey from the Elegant Farmer to East Troy via the East Troy Electric Railroad Santa Train to kick off the festive season in East Troy. The 2014 Photos with Santa fundraiser was a big success, raising $390 for the East Troy Food Pantry.

Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors who helped continue East Troy's 42-year-old tradition. We couldn't do it without you!

East Troy will be the focus of an episode of Milwaukee Public Television’s series “Around the Corner with John McGivern,” which airs next spring. The public is invited to a free premiere of the episode at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 13 at Alpine Valley Resort, W2501 County Road D.

All are welcome! Seating is available on a first come, first served basis. Click above for details.

When winter’s first snowflakes begin to fall, make yours a joyous season with this list of things to do that celebrate the cold weather months. Grab your sleds and head to Mitchell Park, salute the 50th anniversary of Alpine Valley Resort by hitting the slopes, look for signs of wildlife, practice your figure skating moves and more- all within a few miles of the Village of East Troy.

The best part is that these winter fun activities won’t break the bank.
