Christmas cards for McHenry, from a designer just up the road.
McHenry is the biggest town near the studio in Richmond, about 20 minutes away, so McHenry families and businesses get easy, local service: meet about photos, check a proof in person, and get your cards hand delivered.
From the Riverwalk to the downtown shops, McHenry does the holidays right, and your card can capture that same warmth.
The Downtown McHenry Holiday Walk lights up Veterans Memorial Park and the downtown streets with thousands of twinkling lights, with horse-drawn sleigh rides, trolley rides, caroling by the McHenry High School Vocal Warriors, and Santa under the gazebo.
Along the Fox River, the Riverwalk Shoppes host a German-style holiday market in Miller Point Park, downtown windows come alive during Living Windows & the Cocoa Crawl, and a Festival of Trees shows off trees decorated by local businesses.
