Bring your kids and grandkids to Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots on Dec. 22 for an unforgettable afternoon of holiday fun with live reindeer and creative activities like cookie‐decorating, ornament‐making and face‐painting!  With their majestic antlers, the live reindeer – named Dancer and Baby Rudy – are sure to mesmerize kids and adults alike. Also known as the caribou in North America, the reindeer is a species of deer native to Arctic and Subarctic regions.

Supplies for all of the family‐friendly activities – cookie‐decorating, ornament‐making, face‐painting and coloring – will be provided by Fair Grounds.
Guests can enjoy complimentary hot cocoa, along with hot dogs, soft drinks, red and green Kool‐Aid and more. A few of the city’s most popular food trucks and pop‐up vendors will also be on hand with their inventive fare.
