Parks and Rec to host Christmas in the Park

WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - Wichita Falls' Parks and Recreation department is getting ready for another iteration of a holiday tradition.

Christmas in the Park, which will take place this year in Scotland Park next to the Scotland Elementary School gym, gives area kids a chance to meet Santa Claus, play games and win prizes.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7 and will begin when Santa arrives on the Parks and Recreation train at 12:50 p.m. and will wrap up at 3 p.m.

An annual highlight of the event is the candy cane scramble, for children ages 8-12, where kids can grab their share of 10,000 candy canes scattered across the area - and 12 prize candy canes.
