Christmas Lights At the Farm
We will have well over half a million lights!
Starting Friday evening, November 28, 2008, the Jupiter Christmas Express train will take Farm guests on a delightful trip around the farm to see beautiful animated scenes which include Santa's Workshop, Santa, Rudolph and the eight reindeer taking off with the gifts from the workshop, Freddie the Frog chasing the dragonfly, Santa delivering gifts by train and even reindeer jumping clear over the train!
One of the highlights of the tour is the Tunnel of Forgiveness by the Wedding Garden which reminds us of the true spirit of Christmas. After the tunnel, the train travels by the two ponds featuring colored fountains beyond which guests will see a lovely 60-foot-long Nativity Scene. We are hoping to have choral groups sing carols near the Nativity and all around the Farm. Anyone who is interested should phone. Singing groups would be able to enjoy the festivities free of charge.
Santa Claus himself will hold court in the Old-Fashioned Photo Gallery. Children can have their pictures made with Santa for $5 each. Moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas can have their pictures taken with Santa, too! [See Christmas Card Photo idea below] Then go next door to the Jethro P. Hawg Theatre and he will play the guitar and sing carols to you!
The Concession Area in the Train Station will be open, and in addition to the usual great fare, hot chocolate and hot apple cider will be served. At the Train Station there will be unusual gifts, like the Farm's jams, jellies and salsas. You can taste before you buy!
The Farm will be open ...
Fridays 6-8:30pm and Saturdays 5:00pm-8:30pm,
through December 13. In addition, the Farm will be open Tuesday

Winter Holiday for the Farmers ...
Whew! We are tired after all
the Christmas lights and holiday celebrating, so we will be closed to the general public from December 24 to April 4, 2009 EXCEPT FOR BIRTHDAYS ON SELECTED SATURDAYS, CORPORATE GROUPS AND WEDDINGS. During that time we will be working diligently in adding new things for next year and we have some great plans! We will have a Spring Break Camp March 20 and 21, 2009 for ages 6-11. The Orr Family hopes you have a Merry Christmas.
And,
don't forget that Season
Passes make
great gifts!
