The McKee Bridge Historical Society is ready for a festive holiday season and will decorate McKee Bridge, the rustic shelter in the picnic grounds, and Star Ranger Station in early December. These sites will be illuminated 24/7 into the New Year. The 5th-Annual Christmas on a Covered Bridge is set for Saturday, December 16, noon to 5pm. Turnout for this fun event has increased by 50% year over year, and visitors will be welcomed with free hot cocoa, cider and coffee…plus a mega bake sale with a bigger selection of fancy decorated cookies and holiday delicacies. There will be handcrafted gifts to satisfy your shopping list, and Santa and Mrs. Claus will visit, of course!
