by Pam & Michael Davison
We, here at ParkGeek, hope you and your family are enjoying all that the Holiday season has to offer and that you have had a great year. There are several fun and entertaining events to participate in to end 2013.
There are still a few Christmas events. Laser Holidays at the Natural Science Center of Greensboro is showing daily through New Years Eve. The 3D film, The Light Before Christmas will also be shown daily through the 31st.
For any of those last minute gifts you need to pick up, the Holly Daze Pop-up Shop, featuring local artists and vendors will be open in Downtown Cary through December 21st.
The American Tobacco Campus is also hosting the Hatch Pop-Up Shop through January 3rd featuring unique gifts. After shopping, check out the Triangle Tree Challenge. Once you see all the decorated trees, go online and vote for your favorite non-profit decorated tree so they can win prizes.
Once the temperatures go back down, check out the Ice Factory at American Tobacco. The outdoor rink features special nights like Tacky Holiday Sweater Night on December 19th and Hurricanes Night on December 26th.
Please take the time to help out Wake County Parks, Recreation, and Open Space by filling out the Survey.

Get Your First Night Raleigh Button
The Raleigh Acorn is lowered to ring in the New Year. While the acorn has become synonymous with First Night Raleigh, the festival is much more than the countdown to midnight. Your admission pass grants you access to every performance and every venue throughout the day. That's nearly 100 performances in over three dozen locations across downtown Raleigh. What a bargain for just $10! The fun starts at 2pm and runs up to the Chidrens' Celebration and then keeps going until midnight. Get your tickets early at Harris Teeter Stores and Rite Aid Pharmacies.
