WARSAW — Christmas season can sometimes be depressing, but Tippy Creek Winery in Leesburg and the Animal Welfare League recently teamed up to bring some cheer and extraordinary shopping in their Tippy Creek Christmas Market.

A cozy fire was blazing in the main room and heat was warmly circulated in the huge shopping tent they erected for the event.  Zippy the dog was also there to greet new faces and visitors.  Wine tasting was fun for everyone at the tasting bar.  Unique items were for sale in both the main tasting structure as well as the tent.

The wintry weather did not stop the festivities which were perfect for a cold, snowy day.  Look for future events teaming with the Animal Welfare League at this location.
