Getting in the mood for Christmas doesn’t have to be that difficult when you have a day already planned for wrapping it all up.
City officials say Minden is all dressed up for Christmas and ready to receive visitors as a part of the North Louisiana Holiday Trail of Lights and Wrap It Up Downtown.
“Enjoy a shuttle ride through our Historic Downtown, Historic Residential District and our Art and History Cultural District where you can experience a variety of Christmas activities, wrap up your shopping, tour historic homes and businesses, see Santa and sing some carols,” Minden Main Street Director Pattie Odom said.
“Then wrap up your Christmas shopping in Minden,” she added.
Activities begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, as downtown antique, boutique, specialty shops and galleries open for business. Shoppers can buy everything from bikes, bows to bangles in downtown Minden along the brick streets.
“Christmas At The Farm” located on Highway 80 will open at 10 a.m. featuring many arts and craft vendors and a children’s art area.
End the day by catching a shuttle at the Webster Parish Library, 521 East & West Street, from 4 until 7 p.m. for the Historic District Christmas Tour of Homes.

Denton Culpepper and his assistants have done a magnificent job decorating this home and also renovating it. He even has a 60’s tree on display that looks like something my grandparents had.
