Holiday Open House

Each holiday season on the first Friday of December, Waynesburg Prosperous & Beautiful hosts its annual Holiday Open House in historic downtown Waynesburg. On that day, most stores in the downtown business district extend their hours to 7 p.m. or later, with live musicians, burn barrels and the smell of hot chocolate providing a unique and festive shopping atmosphere.

A highlight of the evening is the silent auction, typically featuring more than $1,000 value of merchandise donated by downtown businesses. Items up for bid include jewelry, candy, clothing, gift certificates, hand-crafted gifts, and more! Proceeds from the silent auction benefit programs of Waynesburg Prosperous & Beautiful.

The 2009 Holiday Open House also featured horse-drawn carriage rides provided by Fred and Jessica Kiger and their team of Belgian horses. A spiced nuts vendor sold sweet and salty treats on the sidewalk near the Courthouse, and most downtown restaurants were open for shoppers to enjoy a friendly meal.

More detailed information on the 2010 Holiday Open House, including a list of participating merchants and silent auction items, will be posted in November.
