Event
Saturday with Santa is on the Way
Saturday, December 7, 2024 11:00 AM - 03:00 PM
The holidays are fast approaching and there's no better way to get into the spirit than by spending some time in Allegany State Park. 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. Camp Allegany, site of Santa's Workshop, is open from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Make crafts, design your own button, play games, take pictures in the festive photo booth and other fun activities. Take part in the Allegany State Park Historical Society coloring contest in the Recreation Hall. He will be greeting and taking photos with children from 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Don't forget to make your way back to Camp Allegany for the announcement of the coloring contest winner at 2:45 p.m. For more information, please contact the Environmental Education/ Recreation Department at 716-354-6232 or carrie.busekist@parks.ny.gov.
