Chattanooga Nature Center gets back to basics this weekend with its annual celebration of Holiday in the Woods.
The two-day event is a chance to stroll back in time, organizers say.
Participants will be able to canoe Lookout Creek, take an enchanted sleigh ride through the adjacent Reflection Riding Arboretum & Botanical Garden, explore Santa’s treehouse workshop and have photographs made with Old Saint Nick and his elves.
There’s also the chance to make food for Santa’s reindeer, build bird feeders, roast marshmallows and hot dogs over a bonfire and warm up with hot chocolate.
