The Kickapoo Valley Reserve Friends group will celebrate the holidays Saturday, Dec. 2, from noon to 5 p.m. at the KVR Visitor Center, S3661 Hwy. 131, La Farge.

The Holiday Happening is a fundraiser to support trail maintenance, habitat improvement, and the KVR’s educational programs. Cookies made by volunteers, live evergreen wreaths and sourdough baguettes made by volunteer Thomas Weber will be for sale. A soup, salad and bread lunch will be served from noon until 3 pm, or when the food runs out, for $10 per adult and $5 per kid younger than 12. Homemade holiday-themed cookies will sell at $10 per pound, and gluten-free options will be available.  

Entertainment will include local school bands, Piano Man Steve Hall, Pam Hughes’ violin students, Viroqua Community Bell Choir, and Whisky Chiken.

Photo-contest winners will be announced at 5 p.m.
