The Santa's Workshop activities retuned to the museum's campus this year. Weather was perfect and the new outdoor classroom shelter was an excellent location for all the activities. With the Christmas Spirit Committee, Museum board members, ladies from the Republican Women's Club, and friendly volunteers, the events were a hit with the kids and families. Kids could color a picture, build a craft, write their letters to Santa and place them in the mailbox, have a cut of hot chocolate and a cookie. They could even go to the supervised fire pit and roast a marshmallow on a stick. Also available were free horse drawn buggy rides around the museum. One huge addition to this years events were all the lovable characters dancing around for kids to meet and get their photos taken with. They included Mickie and Minnie Mouse, Elf on a Shelf, Rudolph the Reindeer, the Grinch, and Frosty the Snowman. Actives were all free for the kids and directly after the workshop was the Christmas Spirit Parade down Main Street.
