  • Dress warmly, because this is an outdoor event. Kids can still warm up in the warming tent while making Christmas crafts.
  • Bring a camera or phone for a photo with Santa in his sleigh and pictures of the real live reindeer.
  • Grab a cup of the complimentary hot cocoa and bring your gift list to shop the holiday market at Heritage Park.
