2nd Annual Santa’s Blue River Rescue

Join Santa’s Blue River Rescue—a one-of-a-kind search and rescue adventure along the Blue River! 

On saturday Dec. 6 at 10am- 12noon, help Heartland Conservation Alliance save Christmas at Blue River Parkway at Minor Park. Santa’s sleigh has gone off course and he’s stranded in the Blue River Parkway! Join us for “Santa’s Blue River Rescue” – a magical quest to find Santa and so he can get back to the North Pole to load up the sleigh in time for Christmas Eve.

Hike with our merry elves along the Blue River, searching for clues to guide you to Santa’s hidden location. You’ll have the chance to write a letter to Santa, and even deliver it to him in person! There will also be time for pictures with Santa. Afterward, warm up with hot cocoa and decorate delicious cookies at our festive station.

Please help us stay green by bringing your own water bottle!
