Yule Log Hunt set for Saturday December 1st

     The Victorian tradition of a Christmas Yule Log Hunt returns this winter to Missouri. Poplar Heights Living History Farm is hosting a Yule Log Hunt with wagon rides, bonfires, children's crafts, tours of the Victorian Main House all decorated for Christmas and refreshments on Saturday, December 1 beginning at 1:00 p.m.

      Hop on a wagon for a ride up the road to the bonfire and get ready to begin the hunt which will start at 1:30 p.m.  Competing groups will follow colored streamers to find the decorated log and then it will be dragged back to the bonfire to officially launch the Christmas season.  The 1870's Main House will be decorated and open for tours with short programs on Victorian Christmas traditions. Join fellow guests in the kitchen for refreshments and the lighting of the Advent candle.

     Craft area for the children will be available where they can make pine cone bird feeders and stamp Christmas cards to send to family and friends. Wagon rides will continue through the afternoon and you can toast a marshmallow on the bonfire. 

    The event, crafts and refreshments are all free - Poplar Heights Farm's gift back to you for a very successful year of programs.  For more information call the office at 660-679-0764, visit the website at www.poplarheightsfarm.org or email to info@poplarheightsfarm.org.
