Additional children’s activities include Jenny Jump, bean bag and ring toss and other games with prizes. New this year, is a miniature “Trackless Train” with passenger cars just for kids.

Take a hayride to the historic Hiller House--just around the corner from the Children’s Park—-for a photo with Santa. A photographer will be available or bring your own camera.
