Set for 1 to 3 p.m. on Jan. 25 at Depot Park in Elmore, on the North Coast Inland Trail, this free event is open to all ages and will be held snow or shine. A cozy hot cocoa station stocked with a variety of sweet toppings will again greet attendees in the heated Barn, and activities will include a self-guided animal track scavenger hunt along the North Coast Inland Trail and nearby area, a children’s Origami craft game and historical building tours of The Heckman Log Cabin built in the 1860s and the Elmore Train Depot Museum housing memorabilia from historic Elmore.
