The campground's 5th Annual Christmas in July Toys for Tots Motorcycle Run and Toy and Ronald McDonald House fundraiser are set for today, Saturday and Sunday at the park, 5300 Old Porter Road. The special day camper fee is $3 per person with the donation of a new, unwrapped toy - no stuffed animals - for Toys for Tots.

Activities include music and dancing with Godz and Gunz Band from 8 to 11 p.m. today. On Saturday, The Kicks Band will perform from 2 to 6 p.m., followed by The Dreamz Band from 8 to 11 p.m.

A motorcycle parade will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Decorate your motorcycle or golf cart for the parade and be entered to win $50 for Best Christmas Spirit. Yogi, Santa and Mrs. Claus will join the parade at noon.

Other activities include a site-decorating contest, a chance to trim the tree with Yogi Bear and to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, a free pancake breakfast with a donation of a new toy for Toys for Tots and free lunch with Yogi and Santa with a donation of a toy for the effort.

Christmas arts and crafts, cookie-decorating with Mrs. Claus, contests with prizes and giveaways, a Noah's Ark Workshop, Saturday Christmas carriage rides, moonlight caroling and a food fest also top the weekend activities.

Ronald McDonald will visit the park on Sunday. Visitors will be treated to free train rides on Little Obie on Sunday. A Christmas raffle throughout the weekend will support the Ronald McDonald House Charities. A weekend toy drive will benefit the U.S. Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program.
