Set aside November 28, 2008 for the Holly Days in Vernal Utah. There will be events to participate in from 12-9 pm. The list is so long that I will just mention a few.
The day starts with a Turkey Drawing at 12:00 pm at the Cobble Rock Park and there is a prize drawing at 8:30 pm at the county building. You must be present to win.
You can enjoy a ride in a horse drawn carriage, ride the Holly Trolley between venues, or let the children ride the Polar Express Children's Train Ride.
A Christmas matinee is available or for the more adventurous the Community Center is offering swimming, rock wall climbing, and an obstacle course.
There is something for everyone from concerts, crafts, ice skating, carnival rides and games, professional ice sculpturing demonstration, and soap carving.
You can participate in a photo contest, the winter tales creative writing/poetry contest, or even a wii video challenge.
It would not be the Holly Days without the Parade of lights and the Heritage Garden lighting Ceremony. Not to be missed is the roasting of chestnuts and marshmallows, Churros, Cotton candy, and a cup of hot chocolate. Santa will make an appearance following the parade. The evening will end with fireworks.
Complete list of events and times
I was delighted to see Christmas decoration going up in Vernal. Cobble Rock Park has beautiful wreaths hanging on the fences and entryway. There are santas hang on posts. They have decorated the light posts with red garland and snowflake tops. It won't be long and they will be turning on the Christmas lights. I can't wait to see the snowflakes lit up all the way down Main Street!
If you want to taste some great cinnamon rolls Grandma Tobler's Kitchen is the place to go. They are located at 2862 Santa Clara Drive, Santa Clara, Utah, just outside of St George. They serve baked goods and lunch. Grandma Tobler's Kitchen is open Tuesday through Saturday and lunch is served from 11 am - 2 pm.
I recently went up to the Browns Park Utah area hunting garnet. We hiked up the partially dry creek bed and up a draw to search through the rocks. We didn't have to much luck. We may have been in the wrong area. My Sister found a large piece we think is garnet. I did get some photos to share.
This is the draw looking down from halfway up.
Here is the draw looking up
It was tricky going up the draw and even trickier going down!
Possible dangerous landing spots!

Great View
I took this picture while on a trip to find garnets in Utah. I loved how serene this pictures looks. It makes me just want to get away and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Away from the demands of daily life. To remember that there is more to life that bills, work, and stress.
