WSBT News came out to Hensler’s to film a segment for their Holiday Shoppe Series. They did a wonderful job of showing what it’s like to select and cut your own Christmas tree. And they didn’t forget one of the best parts- shake and bail before you load the tree onto your car!

Christmas Fest began this year just the way we like it- with a parade!
Santa cruised into Hensler’s by fire truck and Mrs. Claus was escorted to the festivities by horse-drawn carriage. Thanks to the Knox, Hamlet and Koontz Lake fire departments for their participation.
Adding to the excitement was our favorite radio station, WKVI, who conducted a live broadcast on our tree lot. We’d also like to give a shout out to the Knox High School Tomahawk Jazz Ensemble. Thanks for providing a wonderful musical score to our festivities!

The Elves at Hensler’s have been hard at work this week creating a supply of fresh greenery.
Last year we introduced the Snowflake, and it was such a hit that we decided to bring it back again this year. Want to know what would look great along with the Snowflake? Our new item for 2010, the Christmas Candy Cane!
In the meantime, check out some of our greenery items in this video.
Thanks to the awesome skills of Jayme Goetz of Photography by Jayme for a great video of the Giant Pumpkin Drop event we hosted on October 30th!

Like Karen mentioned, cruise in to Hensler’s this Sunday, October 3rd for our classic car show. We’ve got door prizes, goody bags, and a pretty nifty prize to hand out for winning entries! Click here to learn more about the Cruise In.
And don’t forget about all of our unique fall decorations. They’re handmade right here at Hensler’s so you can add a unique and personal touch to your holiday decorating.
We had a great time at the Blueberry Festival Parade today, and we’ll be perfectly honest, winning the President’s and Judge’s awards for the second year in a row helped a little bit! As we were lining up at 7 a.m. we weren’t sure the weather was going to cooperate, but the morning turned out to be gorgeous. A perfect day for a parade!
We decorated our float this year with a train theme, and used fall decorations that we will also feature at our Fall Fest which is held at Hensler’s September 25th through October 31st. If you’re not familiar with Fall Fest, check out all of our family activities, Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off and ice-scream weekends on our Fall Fest page.
Meanwhile, all aboard and check out our video from the parade!
Our Christmas Fest sign is lighting up Hamlet this year just off of Highway 30. We want to make it easy to spot us when it’s time to come out and cut your own Christmas Tree. We open the day after Thanksgiving and we can hardly wait! View our map and directions to Hensler’s.
