Come to the hall in Harrison Park for cookie decorating, and crafts and to see Santa himself! Make traditional bannock or try your hand at one of the activities led by At Last Adventure – Forest Schools outside the hall. See a firetruck and build a birdfeeder with the Sydenham Sportsman’s Association. Once again there will be a petting zoo and pony rides to enjoy. New this year, make your way to the island for a wagon ride and face painting.

The Scenic City Lions Club will be selling hot chocolate and coffee for us in Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen, while festival volunteers will be outside BBQing up hamburgers and hotdogs for sale. All proceeds go to keep this event free to the public.

If you’d like to help others celebrate the season, bring an unwrapped toy for the Owen Sound Firefighters Toy Drive.

Hope to see you Saturday at the Festival in the Park!
