FUN activities this year:

NEW this year - conversation with a photographer.

This is your chance to ask those questions that you have always wanted to.  We have a great line up of genres from  Sports | Wildlife | Portrait photography.

  • 9:00 am - Michael Boyd, Sports Photographer
  • 10:00 am - Rhonda Kath, Wildlife Photographer
  • 11:00 am - Heidi Douglas, Portrait Photographer

These conversations will be free flowing without a formal agenda. Every question is a fair question from type of cameras, speed settings, lenses, or maybe even what to wear or best time of year to get the right photo.

  • Music – we are engaging with a number of different musicians to provide live music.

  • Riverbend Nature Center – this will be with us this year

  • Photographer - Education Sessions (Sports Photography . . .)

Make-&-Take Craft Stations!

  • Hands On Craft Stations: there will be a number of Hands-On craft stations where your children can make the craft on site. 

There are a number of Non Profit organizations that will be joining with us to help make this possible.

Santa Letters -

  • We will be handing out stationery to write letters to Santa - these letters can be completed on site or returned to Tri M at a later date.  We have a special mailbox that goes direct to Santa, you can drop them off in the mailbox inside the building. - Santa may even write the children back!
