Night of Holiday Magic December 6, 2008

The City of North Richland Hills will celebrate its 9th annual Night of Holiday Magic on Saturday, December 6th. This year, Night of Holiday Magic is moving to a new location and will be held on the grounds of NRH2O Family Water Park, 9001 Boulevard 26.

Residents are invited to join us from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. for holiday music, dance, crafts, mini train rides, a marshmallow roast, the magnificent tree lighting and fireworks display, and the much anticipated arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Visitors to Night of Holiday Magic will also enjoy shopping at the holiday market, seeing 2,000 pounds of ice carved into a beautiful sculpture, and watching performances by the Dallas Puppet Theater, Standing Room Only and Kids Who Care.

A cool new attraction for this year is a snow tubing hill! The 110-foot, three-lane hill of real snow will provide winter fun for the whole family.

Admission to Night of Holiday Magic is free and parking is free. Parking will be at the Tarrant County College Northeast Campus, off Boulevard 26 across from NRH2O. Residents are encouraged to bring a new unwrapped toy for the Santa Cops Toy Drive and canned food for the Community Enrichment Center's Food Pantry.

There will be a $1 charge for mini train rides, a $2 charge for the snow tubing hill and a $3 charge for crafts in the Children's Holiday Village. Photos with Santa will be available for purchase from Legends Photography, and a variety of refreshments will also be offered for sale.

Night of Holiday Magic is a great way for families to join together in the holiday spirit with their neighbors and friends. We hope you and your family will join us for this 9th annual event on December 6th at NRH2O. Photos with Santa and shopping in the Holiday Market will be offered from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on December 12, 13, and 14. Plus, there will be additional photo opportunities with the beautifully decorated holiday scenes from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. December 7th through 14th. These festive scenes make the perfect backdrop for you family portraits, so don't forget to bring your camera!

The City of North Richland Hills reminds you to please leave pets at home.
