“Holiday Sleigh Rides and more” will be held at Stump Lake Village on Sunday, December 8, from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Chili, soups, Mac ‘n’ cheese, homemade bread, Christmas goodies, and hot beverages will be served for a free will offering.

Sleigh rides will be given through the beautiful Stump Lake Park. (Snow or no snow, there will be horse-drawn rides!) Santa will make an appearance at 2:00 p.m., and there will be Holiday music throughout the afternoon. Any interested children present can join in singing Christmas carols at 1:30 p.m. Bring your kids or grandkids for a fun-filled day! Kids can enjoy ornament making and cookie decorating!

Our Holiday Photo Op will be back! A one-horse cutter (small Santa Sleigh) will be available for you to take holiday photos of your family! Bring your camera or phone and grab someone to snap a photo!

A Bake Sale offering many varieties of treats will also be held. If you are interested in donating goodies for the bake sale, please bring them that day or call Diane Swenson (701-247-3008) for more information.
