Indoors, the rustic table is set for our couple, who may be off checking traps, drawing water, or gathering twigs, moss, cones and grapevine for decoration. The outhouse, sawbucks, and lantern indicate how far off the beaten path you find yourself. Woodland animals make brief appearances throughout the scene. While the rural feel of the setting suggests more wolf and bear than human population, the celebration is heartfelt and cozy in the midst of the big woods. Take family photos or just stroll through the poinsettia-accented Showcase garden as you enjoy our holiday exhibit. Thanks go to the many Fort Wayne citizens who donated spruce, pine and birch trees. Sponsored by the Wilson Foundation, WAJI Majic 95.1, Wells Fargo Charitable Trust, and PBS 39.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>$1 Night: Holiday Music in the Garden<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>December 3, 5 &#8211; 8 pm <\/em><\/p>\n<p>On the first Thursday night of the month we discount our admission to just $1 for each adult and child.
