Downtown Highland Park Gears up for Holiday Event
Real reindeer, real gingerbread and maybe even real snow will greet shoppers at the second annual Shhhhhh…opping Highland Park, which starts Friday.
The unseasonable warmth we've been experiencing is not going to stop downtown Highland Park from celebrating the holiday season this Friday and Saturday, even if that means taking over some of mother nature's responsibilities.

To help make it feel more like winter, Shhhhhh…opping Highland Park organizers are handling the snow themselves, from a company that makes snow for film productions (though there is a chance real snow may be in the forecast as well).
