At The Ingleside Hotel, we believe in the power of community and the magic of the holiday season. That's why we're thrilled to be working with the Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County for the third annual Jingle Bell Jog and Walk. This event not only brings a touch of holiday spirit to the summer, but it also supports a cause close to our hearts—providing Christmas joy to local children in need.
About the Christmas Clearing Council
Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County has been a beacon of hope and joy for countless families. Their mission is simple yet profound: to ensure every child in our community experiences the magic of Christmas. Through generous donations and community support, they provide gifts, clothing, and essentials to children who might otherwise go without.
Illuminated Walking Nights at Country Christmas
Our partnership with the Christmas Clearing Council has grown over the years, notably through the Country Christmas Illuminated Walking Nights. This event is a guest favorite and the only chance to walk through the Country Christmas Trail prior to opening the drive-through holiday lights experience. Admission for the Illuminated Walking Nights is $8 per person, with $2 from each ticket going directly to the Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County. This year, we're excited to extend the event to two weekends: November 15-17, 2024, and November 22-24, 2024. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit https://www.thecountrychristmas.com/.
