Edaville Railroad Festival of Lights

It's time for Edaville's Festival of Lights! I used to go to Edaville when I was little--I was always amazed at all the beautiful lights. I loved the little scenes with the moving figures. We always got our Christmas Tree there as well. And of course, I loved the train ride and watching for all the lights out in the middle of the bogs. Now it's my turn to let my kids enjoy Edaville! The kids love riding the train and going on all the kids rides. We must get fried dough and of course, hot cocoa! One visit to Edaville will get you in the holiday spirit!

If you're a Carver Resident....this Friday & Saturday, November 14 & 15 is Carver Free Days! You must show proof of residency and this year, they'd like you to bring a non perishable food item per person to donate. Maximum of four people.

Here's a link to a money saving coupon too!

Start making some holiday traditions with your children at Edaville this year!
