On Saturday, December 11, Heart Mountain will host a free holiday open house. Planned activities include scavenger hunts, story time, and origami workshops. Holiday cookies and other refreshments will be served. Heart Mountain VISTA museum educator Nora James encouraged the whole community to attend the event. "We’ll have something for the whole family,” James said. “We hope everyone will come out to the holiday open house for games, crafts, and snacks to warm them up on a cold winter's day.”
A raffle for a Japanese tea set, a vintage obi, and a museum membership will also be held at the event. Visitors to Heart Mountain Interpretive Center between Thanksgiving and December 11 will receive one complimentary raffle ticket with museum admission, and additional tickets will be available to purchase for $1.50 each or $5.00 for five. All proceeds from the raffle will support future programs and events at the interpretive center.
