Fayette Historic State Park in the Garden Peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula will celebrate the 90th anniversary of Michigan state parks on Saturday, June 20, with a "Christmas in June" event.

Activities will include a campsite Christmas decorating contest with presents. Other activities will include children's games and activities, reindeer games, a Christmas cookie walk, holiday crafts, winter wonderland scavenger hunt, and a traditional Christmas feast hot dog concession.

Events will begin at 11 a.m. and end at 4 p.m., when a 90th anniversary cake cutting ceremony with the elves is scheduled.

The park has received word through the Holly-hotline that the Grinch may be making an appearance. The park will need a large number of holiday-spirited children to offset the chill and help the Grinch find his Christmas spirit.
