Winter Fun Days returns for 11th year

Noelle's Gift to Children will host several free activities this weekend.

It's the 11th annual Winter Fun Days.

There will be craft tables, movies, hot chocolate, horse and wagon rides and food.

Co-organizer Michele Stokley said this event is a way to give back to the community.

"We spend a lot of time fundraising for Noelle's Gift, giving back to food programs and to the schools, but this is a special fun day just for the kids to come out and enjoy," she said.

This year, there will be new crafts and new movies, and Stokley said Santa will make a special visit.

"[Kids can] get their souvenir picture with Santa to bring home and a whole bunch of happy memories," she said.

The annual event typically sees 500 to 700 kids throughout the day.

Stokley said Winter Fun Days aligns with Noelle's Gift to Children's mandate.

"The kids really look to this day and we're happy to put it on," she said.

The free event at St. Matthew's School on Elm Street Saturday is from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
