Youngest St. Nicholas I've ever seen

We enjoyed our Heritage Village visit this weekend. Because the park celebrates life in the late 19th century and early 20th century, there was no Santa Claus as we know him today. Instead, there was St. Nicholas in the gazebo, who looked to be about 18 or 20 (and not too happy to be there). In addition to visiting St. Nick, we toured some homes, listened to a choir and some bands and watched the costumed docents and volunteers cook, eat and visit. In the saloon, Cooper beat a Webelo Scout in a game of checkers while Katie stacked dominoes.


The kids and I had been to the park a few weeks ago as part of my Fodor's research. The PR lady gave us a great tour and let us ride the donkey-drawn carriage. She even let the Cooper & Katie sit on Nip & Tuck. For Katie, it was the next best thing to a pony ride.
