The Frankfort Historic Business Association hosted the 27th annual Christkindl celebration on Dec. 8 and 9.

Christkindl celebrates Frankfort's German heritage. St. Nicholas spent the weekend in the village, giving sweets to good children and switches to bad ones.

The weekend also included horse-drawn wagon rides, cookie decorating, holiday crafts, Santa's secret workshop and a pet blessing on Breidert Green, among other events.
