Ohio National’s Victorian Holiday Village - FREE

Here's one of my favorite FREE Christmas activities - Ohio National’s annual Victorian Holiday Village. It's a nice Christmas walk with lights and kid sized houses decorated with holiday scenes. They also have free hot chocolate, cookies, balloon animals and a free 5x7 photos with Santa. There's also a little train that will take you from the parking garage to the village (a really short trip but we always have to do it).

They're only open 4 nights (rain or shine):
• Friday, December 3 from 6-8:30 p.m.
• Saturday, December 4 from 5-8:30 p.m.
• Thursday, December 9 from 6-8:30 p.m.
• Friday, December 10 from 6-8:30 p.m.

They do ask, that if you can, you to bring a nonperishable food item (no glass containers), which will be donated to the Freestore Food bank. No one's collecting them, there's just a bin to put them in so don't worry if you forget. One thing to note, the path, once you get off the train, is gravel, so it’s not easy to push a stroller.

Directions:
Take I 71-North exit at the Pfeiffer Rd. exit (Exit 15). Ohio National is immediately on the right. For more information, please visit www.ohionational.com.
