TREC the Halls

The Tom Ridge Environmental Center

Are you ready for the holiday season? Perhaps you should head over to the Tom Ridge Environmental Center this Saturday, Dec. 6 to catch some of the holiday spirit.

The fun-filled day of wintery cheer will start at 10 a.m. with a breakfast buffet. Everyone's favorite jolly elf, Santa, will even be there. After that, Santa will be available for visiting from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can also enjoy 11 different activity stations, including live animals, a bean bag toss, holiday decoration crafting, snowman building, bird feeder making, cookie decorating, a bubble machine, and much more, with activities going from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

There will also be a special holiday movie playing at the Big Green Screen Theatre, free of charge. Seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis, so make sure to get there early. The movie will be showing at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.

So hop on your sled, strap on your snowshoes, or fire up your snowmobile and head down to the Tome Ridge Environmental Center on Dec. 6 for a winter wonderland experience that's fun for the whole family.
