Saturday, December 2 | 10:00–4:00Children's Craft: Angel (11:00–3:00) Santa is coming to Howell Farm…not in a sleigh, but on a steam tractor! Visit Howell Farm this Saturday for Christmas crafts, live music, farm animal visits, and an opportunity to peek inside a decorated circa-1900 farmhouse – before meeting Santa when he arrives at 12:30. Stop by the visitor center to hear the Jugtown Mountain String Band play inside the barn, or decorate a special holiday ornament in the classroom ($5 materials fee). Next walk up to the barnyard, where families can take selfies in the 1800s sleigh pulled by the horses on snowy days, and visit the blacksmith working in the farm’s forge. The main barn will also be open for a milking demonstration with Blizzard at 2:00. Warm drinks, homemade cookies, lunch, and other light refreshments are available for sale at the farmhouse. While you're here, be sure to check out the gift shop for unique gifts like Howell Farm honey, handmade straps of sleigh bells, forged items made by the farm’s own blacksmith, and other homemade items by the farm's sewing guild. Toys for Tots is also accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys to help bring joy to America's less fortunate children this holiday season. Schedule
