Tips & Advice

  • Bring a new, quality unwrapped toy for a child aged 0 to 16, since one per family is the price of admission and every toy stays local.
  • Tune your car or phone radio to KOOL 96.5 FM, because the fireworks show is choreographed to the Christmas music played on that station.
  • Arrive while the free chili and Idaho potato dinner is being served, since it runs only for a set window before the fireworks.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors at the fairgrounds, though there are bonfires to warm up by and indoor seating for dinner.
  • If you can't make it, drop a toy at one of the sponsor locations before or after the event, or make a monetary donation.
