The Fort Hays State Historic Site conducted Christmas Past at Historic Fort Hays on Friday and Saturday, giving a glimpse into what the Fort would have looked like during holidays in the 1870s.
Attendees were guided through the night with lanterns to enjoy apple cider and cookies while listening to carolers, riding wagons and meeting Father Christmas.
The Hays Arts Council also sponsored its annual Winter Art Walk. The Hays Public Library offered children's crafts. The anchor of the art show was the Five-State Art Photography Exhibit at the Hays Arts Center.
The weekend wrapped up with the Downtown Hays Development Corporation's FrostFest Parade. The parade's theme was Gnome for the Holidays.
