June 10, 2009

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.

Fayette Historic State Park is located at 13700 13.25 Lane, 18 miles south of Garden City off M-183 in the Upper Peninsula.
