A hayride was held around the Nature Center while the weather was nice. A self-guided candy cane hunt was held in the Discovery Hall. A winter sensory area was also held in the Discovery Hall and children enjoyed using their touch, smell, and sight to find out what was inside the boxes. A movie special of “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” was playing in the theater for families to watch. Hot chocolate and coffee were available throughout the event to keep families warm.
Matt Vines is the ANC Camps and Community Programs Coordinator and was in charge of this fun event.
