Ho ho ho! Santa will make an appearance at Echo Bluff's Betty Lea Lodge on Saturday, Dec. 20. Bring out all the kids young and old for a fun day at the park.
Start the day off by hiking a trail, relaxing around a fire, or enjoying a meal at the Creekside Grill while waiting for the activities to begin. The event will begin at 1 p.m. with crafts at the lodge. Visitors will have the opportunity to decorate a cookie and make a nature-inspired ornament. Santa will appear for photos at 2 p.m. before making a dash back to the North Pole at 4 p.m. to finish checking his list!
