HUNTINGDON — There’s not any snow on the ground, but it’s still the perfect time to ring in the upcoming holiday season.

Enjoy holiday-themed activities and music at Greenwood Furnace State Park’s holiday open house on Sunday, Dec. 8. from 1 to 4 p.m.

Admission to the event is free and open to all ages. There will also be carriage rides, sponsored by MCS Bank, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

“Bring out the family, have fun and get in the holiday spirit with a visit from Santa,” said Jen Moore, environmental education special at Greenwood Furnace State Park, located at 15795 Greenwood Road in Huntingdon.

“While you are here, don’t forget a carriage ride to see the toy display and listen to music at the Blacksmith Shop.”

Other activities include make and take crafts and ornaments, toys of the past presentation with the Metzel family, music, refreshments with homemade cookies provided by the Stone Valley Community Charter School and, of course, a visit by Santa Claus.

The Blacksmith Shop, Visitor Center and Gift Shop will also be open during the open house.

A $2 donation per person or $5 per family is encouraged. Proceeds benefit the Friends of Greenwood Furnace State Park toward future park projects.
