OH JUST WOWSERS! I watched ALL of it, beginning to end. Just Wow !!: Candy Cane Trees, and Monorails? OH MY, and TATOO PARLERS, and HOT TUBS, and SNOW MOBILES? Yes please! CARNIVALS! and more CARNIVALS! (re-watched #53 a couple of times!) And to #54: "I need a reservation at the Truffle Factory!" The Fisherman's Resort has been added to my 'gotta have it' list! HATS OFF TO ALL OF THE TRAINS AND TUNNELS! Sweet Chill-bumps with the "5 Things I Love About My Dad" and the guy sitting in the recliner on top of the Wal-Mart building made me chuckle. You gotta LOVE the sense of humor with the signs posted throughout the ZOO in #46. That was a real treat! Thanks so, so MUCH to EVERYONE! What an amazing inspiration! And a sincere thank you to Miriam for encouraging the creativity that it took to do all of this! Looking forward to more, and more and MORE!

Wow, you really did watch all of them and paid such close attention, I love that! You watch village videos the way I do😂🤣. I love to pop popcorn and put on good village videos and notice every detail about them. You are very welcome, this has been a lot of work but I had been fun. 😂

Hello Miriam, it was a pleasure looking at this video, as well as the others for the contest. I believe that your favorite build is included in this video, let's see if I am right! Mariam, I must say this video is truly a tribute to you! So many of the clips include the techniques, ideas, items and skills that you offered us during your workshops. I did not participate in the contest, but I am very happy with the improvements that I made by following your ideas. Some of my village is posted already and my village tree was included in "The Village Collector." I will be posting to your Facebook page but wanted the contest to be over first. Thank you and Dewan for making my village experience so much more exiting. Happy Holidays!

Hi Miriam. I'm not done watching the video yet, but I am gonna watch all the way through until the end. I'm just so excited that I had to pause and let you know how I'm feeling so far. First of all, I have to give you and your husband mad props for getting all of this together the way you have. You both created a spectacular video. This is some amazing content. Yes you are sooooooo gonna need that entire week off. You definitely deserve it. Secondly, to everyone that submitted pictures and videos of their villages, you all have done an amazing job. There is so many beautiful villages here. Creativity levels are off the charts. I don't have a favorite. I've loved every single village since the first video. Everyone is a winner to me. Miriam this has been such a great experience. Before I subscribe to your channel, I never knew something like this even existed. These villagers have showed up and showed out with all of their talent. Thanks again coaches for volunteering your time. Thank you Miriam for the opportunity. You are a beautiful inspiration to myself and lots of others. Thanks so much for sharing again sis and good luck to you all😘👍💕💕

Hey Sis, thanks so much! It has been a labor of love but it is my pleasure to do it. 😃. I completely agree, these villages are amazing, there are so many beautifully talented and creative minds out there. I love seeing people’s lives through their villages. It is a special thing for me. The last category is just as great and I can’t wait to get it done. God bless you and talk soon!

So many extraordinary villages and lots of hard work. Great job everyone! I don’t envy the judges; too many to choose from.

My husband and I loved the contest and are in awe of your commitment to your channel. This video was a labor of love ❤️. We watched it all. We gleaned some fantastic ideas. Loved the camp ground with all the tents, all the different backdrops, and how motion was creatively added to displays. Really loved the cars driving through town, the horses galloping, all the trains and tunnels. Thank you for organizing this contest. Thanks to all the talented contestants!

I watched the entire video from beginning to End!! Felt like watching "The Avengers End Game Movie" in relation to time LOL. But very clever ideas and themes created for a very entertaining show! Would love to get my hands on some of those European pieces!! This is going to be tough for the Judges!

Hello, this was a compilation of my subscribers videos, I’m not sure how those northern lights were made. Hopefully the contestant will read your comment and let you know. 😀

I just have a question, maybe I missed this information from your other videos, how many categories do we have? And what criteria is based on judging? So we can look for those while we are watching these fantastic videos. Miriam thank you for hosting this contest. Thank you to all the participants for inviting us to your villages. Thank you for all the judges for a huge task of evaluating these wonderful villages.

Hello Leanne, That is awesome, it’s so sweet to honor your daughter. Do you have Facebook? You can upload your pic on my timeline. I am under Miriam’s Manner on Facebook.

So, next year I'd like to enter if you have the contest again. Now I do it for the local Botanical garden, but I do it on a volunteer basis and use all of my own buildings and build my own scenery and put it together. Is that allowed? Thanks by the way for the roads, however I'm using them for something else. I've found your information very helpful, so lookout folks. :)

Hello Dennis, all of the villages you saw in this video were part of a contest. No one talked about the price because that info isn’t necessary for the contest. The price is subjective to the brand you buy and if you choose to purchase brand new or used pieces. You can find used pieces at goodwill, offer up or Facebook marketplace. You can buy Walmart brand, Costco brand, Lemax, Dept 56, etc. Most of my village is from Lemax. Below is a website for all Lemax products with prices. Hope this info helps you. www.ehobbytools.com
