LOWER LAKE, Calif. — The Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association has announced that its popular “Christmas at the Ranch” Victorian Christmas celebration held each year in the historic ranch house at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is being canceled for 2021.
AMIA has been presenting this Christmas event for more than 25 years. It features tasty Christmas baked goods, hot apple cider and coffee, and performances by local musicians singing Christmas carols and holiday songs. Santa is always present to greet children of all ages.
With long-planned repairs to the Anderson Ranch House about to commence — including painting, window repairs and foundation work — State Parks has taken advantage of the pause in indoor activities at the ranch house to remove the furniture and other historic objects contained in the ranch house for much-needed cleaning and refurbishing.
“With the ranch house disrupted by maintenance projects, and the still-lingering COVID health concerns about crowded indoor events in small spaces, we thought it prudent to cancel the event this year,” said AMIA Board Member Henry Bornstein. “We plan on resuming this event next year, when we hope to be able to gather together at the ranch house to enjoy each other’s company and holiday cheer.”
