Candy Lane offers the sweetest sites. The entire block
is decorated with candy themes for the children.
Louise Brown owns The Chocolate Fudge House,
the first house on Candy Lane.
Here, those who have grown weary
from ice-skating may take refuge from the cold.
Hot chocolate and double fudge brownies
await those who enter.

Strawberry Shortcake
 

Next, Lawrence and Dorothy Foster offer
their speacialty: Strawberry Shorcakes made
from those juicy strawberries picked from the
Foster's own orchards last spring. It is a town tradition
to serve the first picked berries at the annual winter festival
and Christmas Walk.
 
 
 

Wedding Cake

            Lucinda Rollings, who runs the Creampuff Bakery,
                 has decorated her house in typical confectionary style.
It looks just like a like a wedding cake with lots of
white frosting and whipped cream.
 
 

The Pink Surry

The Pink Surry is a special stop for the little girls.
It is truly a Doll House full of dolls.
Kathryn Ross travels abroad several times a year
and has collected dolls from all over the world.
She generously displays them at the Christmas Walk
adding many new dolls each year. Kathryn's dolls
are the inspiration behind many a young girl's dream
at this time of year.

Lemon Drops

Most of the boys like to visit The Browns' at
The Lemon Drop House. Virginia and Edward Brown
own the general store. They  make the lemon drops themselves
in the back of the store.

Cotton Candy

The Cotton Candy House is another favorite. Tom
and Nancy Swearingen know that it will always
be so and  they offer the pink sugared cotton candy that is
so popular at the park in the summer as well.
 
 

The Storks's Place

    Dr. Fithian and his wife, Marjorie,  have the perfect
    house for this sort of thing. The Stork's Place is already
  a theme home and has always been painted in pastels of
  pink of blue since Doc opened his practice in Carrollton
twenty years ago.

The Gingerbread House

The next house is a favorite all year round as well.
Mary Smith-Jones, the sunday school teacher,  ALWAYS
has cookies ready for any of the towns children who visit.
Yes, 365 days a year, any young person in Carrollton
could appear on her doorstep and ALWAYS expect
a glass of  milk and fresh cookies. But at Christmas,
one ALWAYS expects gingerbread cookies from
The Gingerbread House.
 

Steamboat Annie's
 

Steamboat Annie's is always a fun stop for the
young ones too. Annie's father, Captain Jack is a famous
sailor around here. He was captain of a large steamship,
the S.S. Admiral,  for 25 years before retiring
and moving back to Carrollton. Each year
he hosts an evening of  Christmas Stories and tells
many tales of his years at sea.
 
 

Blueberry Muffins

Sam and Teresa Westerfield own the
Blueberry Muffin House. Teresa Westerfield makes
Christmas stockings for all the visitors
and fills them with sweet treats. Sam, who
owns the local lumber mill, wants to be
sure that each stocking also includes one
of  his hand carved toys he makes especially
for the children who visit during the Christmas Walk.
He has made little wooden trains for the boys
and tiny wooden doll furniture for the
little girls to use in their dollhouses.
 

The Sand Castle

By the time the tour gets to The Sand Castle,
the final stop on Candy lane,  most of the little ones
are very tired and ready to go home.
But for those who aren't quite ready
to give in to sleep yet,
the Sandman can be found here.
He fills little heads with visions of sugarplums
and helps them find the way to dreamland.
