Port Angeles Washington - The Authentic Northwest.

Sleigh bells ring: are you listnin’? Join friends and neighbors for horse-pulled sleigh rides and more in Sequim! The North Olympic Land Trust’s 2nd Annual Holiday Celebration will take place on Saturday, December 11th from 10am until 2pm at the Lazy J Tree Farm. Folks can pick out their ideal Christmas tree while riding through the farm behind Jim Bower’s Blue Mountain Belgium horses, pay a visit to Santa Claus in the Lazy J Barn, snack on cookies and hot cider, and enjoy an outdoor bonfire and carolers. Participants can stroll down to Siebert Creek with naturalists Coleman Byrnes and Dr. James Karr to learn about how the Land Trust helps permanently protect important salmon habitat on land like the Lazy J Tree Farm. Visitors can purchase local fruits and vegetables, jam, wreaths and other products for gift-giving along with Christmas trees that they or the Lazy J staff cut fresh. The public is invited to the Land Trust’s event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Lazy J Tree Farm is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily for tree cutting and sales at 225 Gehrke Road in Port Angeles.
