Looks like a great family event tomorrow at History Park:

*****************************************

The holidays at History Park have become a tradition. Children’s Day at History Park will be Sunday, December 11 from noon to 4 PM. 

 

Santa will be on-hand for photo opportunities. Children can ride the trolley with Santa Claus on the 1 PM and 3 PM runs. A highlight every year is that children can experience operating the hand-cart along the tracks.

 

There will be holiday crafts and activities for children, and story times with the Snow Queen between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM.

 

The St. James AME Youth Choir will enhance the holiday spirit by singing from the bandstand at 2 PM.

 

History Park affiliates will add to the diversity of the holiday: the Hellenic Heritage Institute, the Portuguese Historical Society of California and the Chinese Historical and Cultural Project are just some of the participants. There will be arts and crafts projects at the Umbarger House, the Markham House, the Hill House and the Associated Oil Service Station.  In addition, the Print Shop and Trolley Barn will be open, as will the Leonard and David McKay Gallery.
