Christmas Adventure at ELJ Farms
Get into the "Holiday Spirit", with a trip to the farm.
Leaving from Fort Benjamin Park at 4pm on Friday December 12th, we will make our first stop at Golden Corral in Jacksonville for dinner, following which we will head to ELJ Farms. There we will hop on the hayride for the light show with a stop at their Christmas shops for some light Christmas shopping if you like, or just browse the shops. Upon completing your shopping we will hop back on the wagon and complete the lightshow before returning to the parking lot for our return trip home. Registration is $25 per person which includes the hayride and transportation to the event. Return time will be approximately 9pm.
