Enjoy music by the Morrow and Forest Park High School orchestras, face painting and ornament making at the a 146-acre nature preserve located in the heart of Clayton County. Then follow a candlelit path through the woods to a bonfire where you will find storyteller Barry Mann painting pictures of holidays past. Children will search the hillside lit with firelight for a cedar log with a big red bow. This log will be tossed into the fire, and then used again at next year's yule celebration.
