Community Gallery in Small Town

If there is one place in America that knows how to celebrate Christmas, it is the North Pole. Maybe not exactly, but the town of Resurrection Bay, Alaska is close enough that they create a veritable wonderland of Christmas joy. The beginning of December brings candle-lighting services, as well as a tree lighting ceremonies which kick off the other events. Nights include caroling and other seasonal treats. The Resurrection Bay Galerie is the site of one of the most popular events of the Christmas season. The first week of the month offers a Christmas Tree auction, where guests can swing by the gallery, view the trees up for auction, and decide which will be the perfect option for your home. Even if you do not win the tree of your choice, you can get plenty ideas for getting your home in the holiday spirit. The proceeds from the auction benefit the Providence Alaska Foundation. The gallery is located in Resurrection Bay which is on the Kenai Peninsula. It is considered Seward, Alaska's main settlement, and the bay remains surprisingly free of ice, even in the dead of winter. Resurrection Bay Galerie is open year-round, in addition to hosting the Christmas auction event. If you are looking for a small gallery filled with art and friendly owners, this is it for you.
