WEST FARGO, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – On Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10 am to 5 pm., it’s time for an old-fashioned “Christmas on the Prairie.” Guests can kick off the holiday festivities at Bonanzaville. Enjoy a day filled with carolers, cookies, Santa and his reindeer, historic demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides, a Christmas Craft Show, kid-friendly activities, and much more.

It’s affordable for the whole family: adults $6, kids $3, or a family pass for $15. Join the fun while supporting your local history! Sponsored by the Horace Lions.

Cass County North Dakota Historical Society (CCNDHS) is the cultural institution responsible for telling the county’s story and preserving and collecting artifacts related to it. Bonanzaville has been an iconic part of the Red River Valley since 1968!

The Horace Lions meet the needs of their local community every day because they hold a core belief—serving others. Founded in 1917, the Lions are best known for fighting blindness. However, they also volunteer for many community projects, including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry, and helping seniors and people with disabilities. The Horace Lions also support education through local history, first responders, and community partnerships with their ongoing collaboration with Bonanzaville!
