Good morning, Saint Joseph.

Schweizer Orchards in St. Joseph began its Christmas tree cutting season this November with cut and pre-cut trees available every weekend from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — the farm, a family tradition since 2000, also offers photo ops and hay rides for holiday visitors.

St. Joseph film director Jason Hudson and Marks Media premiere GingerBread Men, a family-friendly Christmas movie, this weekend at the Missouri Theatre.

The film, which was entirely shot in St. Joseph, will show at (2, 5 and 6:30 p.m.) and allows local fans to meet the cast and crew.

The holiday season began yesterday in St. Joseph when lights were switched on at Hyde Park and Krug Park for the Christmas ceremony—families lined up at Krug Park and the displays will remain lit all December.
