CHRISTMAS on the PRAIRIE

We are excited to bring you a historic Christmas celebration at Bonanzaville. The pioneer village will be transformed to a simpler time where carolers sing the sounds of the season and cookies are baked in a wood burning stove. Families will gather to celebrate the joys of Christmas, both past and present. Grab a hot drink and mix up your own creation at the hot chocolate bar, enjoy docents in the pioneer village and blacksmith demonstrations, design a Christmas card and print it on an old press, take a horse drawn sleigh ride, decorate and design your own Christmas treat, call Santa’s elves at the North Pole to check on your Christmas gifts and get a photo taken with the big man himself! We also have crafts for the kids, s’mores over an open fire, a sledding hill and an ice skating rink (weather pending).

A CHRISTMAS STORY: THE MUSICAL presented by Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre

Based on the perennial holiday movie favorite, A Christmas Story – The Musical chronicles young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker as he schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle (You’ll shoot your eye out kid!). An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dogdare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish in this delightful musical adaptation.

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Then you will seek me and find me: when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord."
