More from Alderbrook Resort & Spa:

"Every year the day after the most Thankful of days, a well-known celebrity dressed in red graces the shores of Hood Canal to usher in the Holiday season. Previously known as the Tree Lighting Ceremony, this celebration is now called Holidays on Hood Canal. But last year’s event was not without some unexpected shenanigans… Rudolf, our beloved guide, was en route to meet the transport crew on the Lady Alderbrook.

Unfortunately, he lost track of his bearing and CRASHED into the Lady Alderbrook, disabling all navigation equipment! Thanks to the quick thinking of Conductor Elf, who suggested that the crowd sing Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. Skipper Elf was able to follow the magical sound to bring our special guest safely to our dock.

This is the story of the aftermath, and how we are all getting ready for the upcoming celebration… Looking forward to seeing everyone November 24th, 2023 to see what kind of trouble the Conductor and friends get into!"
