Kringle Fest and holiday traditions at Stearns History Museum

The Stearns History Museum presents Kringle Fest on Sunday, Dec. 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. Santa Claus will make a special appearance by the cozy confines of the museum’s historic Carnegie fireplace. He will visit with children and families to collect those special wish lists and letters to take back to the North Pole. Parents are encouraged to bring a camera for family photos with Santa in this holiday setting. There will also be the opportunity for children to make holiday decorations and to enjoy cookies and cider.

The halls of the museum will be decorated and Santa’s workshop filled with toys.
