Homer Lake Hosts Annual ‘Homer for the Holidays’ Event on December 14th

The Salt Fork Center at Homer Lake Forest Preserve will transform into a hub of holiday cheer on Saturday, December 14, as the Champaign County Forest Preserve District hosts the 2024 edition of “Homer for the Holidays.” The free event runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and offers activities for all ages to enjoy the season while embracing nature.

Visitors will have the opportunity to craft unique holiday gifts and decorations using natural materials at various creation stations.

Guests are welcome to drop in anytime during program hours, and children must be accompanied by an adult. With activities suitable for all ages, the event aims to spread holiday spirit and promote environmentally friendly practices.
