Tips & Advice
- Dress warmly in layers, because the activities run both inside and outside the Rolek Community Center, including the sleigh rides and sled dog runs.
- Bring a few nonperishable goods with you, because the event collects donations for the Avon Township Food Pantry.
- Make sure every child comes with a grown-up, because children must be accompanied by an adult at Holiday in the Hart.
- No sign-up is needed, so you can just show up and head straight for Santa, the hot cocoa and the sleigh rides.
- Leave time to watch the ice sculptor at work, because the carving takes shape over the course of the event.
