“UH-OH, HERE COMES CHRISTMAS” runs Nov 29-Dec 3 & Dec 6-10 & Dec 13-17. This charming show takes a funny, heartwarming, and often poignant look at our annual struggle to find the Christmas spirit. From a Christmas pageant that goes hilariously wrong to a poinsettia plant that just won’t die – from embarrassing family stories told around the Christmas dinner table to raiding the fridge for midnight leftovers; there’s even a hilarious battle over a puppy! This collection of fun-filled holiday stories has been crafted into an entertaining evening that will keep you smiling while it rekindles your Christmas spirit!
The BHP Billiton Enchanted Forest opens for drive-thru visitors on Saturday November 18th running every evening from 5:30 pm-10:00 pm through January 6th. Those who prefer a brisk walk through the 2.5 km display route will have the opportunity to experience the lights at the Saskatchewan Blue Cross Push2Play LightWalk on Friday November 17th and Sunday, January 7th from 5:30 pm-9:00 pm. Drive-thru admission is $10/person or $33/car (up to 7 people). The Push2Play LightWalk is $5/ person or $20/family.
The Barn Playhouse creates a full event out on the farm. The yard opens at 6:00 pm with a horse-drawn sleigh ride from the parking lot to the Barn where you can browse through the Craft Barn and enjoy a glass of complimentary punch. The Buffet begins at 7:00 pm with the show to follow. Sundays the yard opens at 12 noon, Buffet at 1:00 pm with the show to follow.
Proceeds from the BHP Billiton Enchanted Forest are shared by the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation and the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation.
