Pringle Nature Center invites forest folk of all ages to join The Great Gnome Gathering on Saturday, December 13th, 2025 from 11 am to 3 pm in Bristol Woods County Park. This family-friendly event celebrates the magic of winter in the woods with a variety of free and donation-based activities designed to celebrate the season and raise support for Pringle Nature Center’s environmental education programs. Wandering gnomes are welcome to enjoy a gourmet hot cocoa or espresso, make a nature craft, take a photo opp., go on a winter hike, share good cheer by the bonfire, try their luck in a 50/50 raffle, and more. Don’t forget to wear your festive or gnome-related fashion for the best-dressed contest! All ages are welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult), and we ask that pets stay at home (service animals are always permitted).
