LaSalle Hotel celebrates Christmas in July
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – Christmas is coming a bit earlier than expected. That’s because the LaSalle Hotel in Downtown Bryan is hosting its inaugural Christmas in July Craft Market Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The event will include various vendors, raffles, live music, photos with Santa, food and drinks and more.
“We, here at the LaSalle, wanted to open up our courtyard for small business owners to keep some of the business here in Downtown Bryan,” Shariece Simbahon with LaSalle Hotel said.
Along with the courtyard, vendors will be inside the hotel’s lobby and its speakeasy. Some of the vendors include Huckleberry Notions and Mimik Essentials.
Huckleberry Notions is a store based in Navasota that specializes in handmade and vintage apparel and accessories. The owner, Trisha Lookadoo, loves for all of her pieces to tell a story.
Mimik Essentials, created by MiMi Klaproth, is a bath, body and home goods line with items like all-natural soaps, lotions and candles.
Downtown Bryan’s own Whimsy & Wild Emporium will also have goods for sale at the event. The store’s owner, Lindsey Terry, will have books, crochet kits, and more.
In addition, Whimsy & Wild will have a kids’ area in LaSalle Hotel’s courtyard where kids can enjoy crafts and write letters to Santa.
Entertainer Ricky Montijo will keep the event flowing with live music. He wrote a song just for the event that can be heard above.
