For one evening, Marland’s Grand Home opens with sixteen local artists’ takes on The Winter Fox hung throughout the historic mansion, and the artists are there to meet.
Outdoor lights cover the big front lawn, and inside the house is dressed for Christmas, so kids get a glowing walk outside and a peek at an old Ponca City home decorated for the season.
Parent tip: Children must come with an adult. Let kids pick their favorite fox painting and tell the artist why.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
