Join the Environmental Education Department for a fun, festive, family event! In this, the season of giving, we are asking event participants to bring non-perishable food items and/or an unwrapped toy to be donated to a local food pantry and Toys for Tots. The big day starts at 11:00 a.m. in the Red House area of the park with Santa's parade starting at 11:30 a.m. Santa will pass by Camp Allegany and the Administration building on his way to the Red House picnic shelter. Stop by and hang a couple of ornaments on the big tree in the Red House Administration Building and have a cup of hot chocolate and a cookie. The Red House Museum will be our quiet Holiday room for those that need a break from the lights and sounds of the season.
