Merry Christmas Eve. All is looking good for Santa to have safe travels this evening. There are some events going on this weekend. If you are looking to get the kids out of the house or have guests, check out the Raptor Center, Discovery Place or the WBT Ice Rink. This would also be a great weekend to bundle up the kids and take them out to one of our great parks to get some of the holiday energy out. Have a wonderful holiday.
