In May and June 2008, Edgewater Studios and Craig Anderson Productions filmed a movie called "Moonlight & Mistletoe" in and around the town of Chester, Vermont. The movie was a Christmas themed movie starring Tom Arnold, Candice Cameron Bure and Barbara Niven. The movie premired on the Hallmark Channel on November 29th, 2008 and played several times after that. Check out the HallmarkChannel.com for more info.

Many of the scenes were filmed inside and in front of the Fullerton Inn. The production crew transformed the late spring of Chester into a winter scene. We had a lot of fun hosting the cast and crew over the 30-day production. We have great memories of the movie and those involved in making it. Here are some photographs of the production of "Moonlight and Mistletoe" in beautiful Chester, Vermont.

It was in the high 80's that day. It made the cast uncomfortable being dressed for winter.

I was allowed to be on the set, but off camera during all of the shots.   Crew setting up for exterior shot in front of the Fullerton Inn.
