Christmas in August Christmas in August

    About this event

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...in August!?! There will be a gift exchange, carolling, snow party (foam), and a sleigh ride around the park (wagon ride) with the bears. For the gift exchange, parents may bring a gift for their children to be delivered by Yogi Bear playing Santa ($25 max) on Saturday afternoon at the Rec Hall - If you do not bring a gift we have many Jellystone plush and stuffed animals and other toys in our shop. Don't forget to bring a canned good to donate for our Xmas in August food drive! Please bring Christmas decorations for your campsites (prize available)!
