                        It's a WHObilation

                        Come join the fun as Oglesby transforms into Whoville for a day! Join the Grinch and the Mayor for an afternoon of Who-tastic family fun with a reading of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," crafts, ice sculpting, carolers and a Cindy Lou Who and Friends Look-Alike contest. Sample some "Who-Stew" as Oglesby's best chefs compete for $100 cash prize in a chili cook-off. Santa will be on hand to hear the little one's Christmas wishes and there'll be hot cocoa and cookies for all. The Grinch and Mayor will lead all Whoville residents in a carol sing-along right before the Christmas Tree lighting.
