Dickens Christmas Show & Festivals

Over the past 44 years, the Dickens Christmas Show and Festivals have grown from a charming holiday marketplace into a whole Victorian-era experience, brimming with history, entertainment, and heart. While we’ve always stayed true to our “step back in time” roots, each year brings new wonders from unique artisans and entertainers, as well as rare historical exhibits that make our guests feel as though they’ve wandered straight into the 18 Among our favorites are the authentic Victorian Bath House on Wheels, once used to preserve a lady’s modesty while changing into her bathing costume, and even being rolled to the water’s edge, and the grand Penny Farthing bicycle, a delightful but tricky contraption that’s a true sight to behold. Guests are also treated to the breathtaking Victorian Santas Through the Ages display, showcasing the many faces of Saint Nicholas as he’s evolved. And of course, the “real” Santa himself will be here, greeting guests in his Grand Castle and listening to Christmas wishes from the young and the young at heart. Alongside these experiences, our commitment to the community has also grown. Throughout the show, guests can participate in our silent auction, featuring treasures donated by vendors and community friends. The bidding runs all weekend, and on Sunday as the show draws to a close, we announce the winners. That moment is about more than prizes; it’s about the joy of knowing the proceeds will go directly to our local charities, helping them continue their good works year-round. This year promises more creative vendors, new entertainment, and more ways to immerse yourself in the magic of the Victorian season, all while giving back to the community that makes it possible. Adding to the festive ambiance is the spectacular Festival of Trees, Holiday Tables, and Festival of Worlds, where you can savor many delicious holiday treats, Wreaths, and Stockings, all available for silent auction, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting local charities.

How Humidity Control Affects AC Performance and Repairs?

Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air

Managing indoor humidity is essential for having a comfortable and efficient home. Air conditioners are designed to cool the air, but are also responsible for pulling excess moisture. When humidity gets too high, your AC has to work more than normal to keep the temperature at the desired level, tending to accelerate wear and tear. This increased stress can lead to higher repair frequencies and reduced system life with time. We will discuss how poor humidity control affects AC performance and how homeowners can avoid unnecessary problems using proactive maintenance and indoor air management. High humidity makes indoor air feel warmer than it is, causing you to turn down the thermostat in a quest for comfort. Not only does this additional load consume more energy, but it can also make your AC system cycle more or cycle on and off too frequently. In both cases, efficiency is curbed, and undue stress is placed on internal components like the compressor, evaporator coil, and blower motor. Moist air also increases the likelihood of condensation within the ductwork and other AC components, ultimately resulting in corrosion, mold growth, or plugged drain lines. Repair requirements tend to escalate when humidity issues are left unchecked, resulting in comfort issues and increased service expenses over time. Regulating and sustaining indoor humidity is essential to maintaining the life and performance of your AC. Indoor humidity should be between 30% and 50%. You may support this range using a dehumidifier, proper ventilation, and leak detection for outside air entry. Your AC filter must also be replaced regularly to regulate airflow and moisture. By having balanced humidity, your system will cool more efficiently, need fewer repairs, and provide superior overall comfort throughout the house. Humidity may not always be visible, but its effects on your cooling system are significant.
