4866. Go to Whoville Holiday event in Oshkosh

Whoville Holiday has been on my radar for a few years. It hasn't been a high priority but it sounded like fun. This year it fell on my birthday and the weather was going to be halfway decent. Danielle and I decided to go check it out.

Whoville Holiday is an annual event in downtown Oshkosh and features Breakfast with the Grinch, pictures with the Grinch, carriage rides, a Grinch Scavenger Hunt, showings of the Grinch movie, and deals from various merchants downtown Oshkosh. It is a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

We opted not to do the Breakfast with Grinch but decided to check out the other festivities. We picked up a scavenger hunt sheet and a map. I doubled checked that big kids can participate too since the event is geared towards families. I was assured we could.

Our first stop was getting a picture with the Grinch. The line wasn't too long and moved quickly.

After getting a picture with the Grinch, we started out on the scavenger hunt. Basically you had to find 20 different Grinches in the windows of various downtown businesses. I was seriously thinking this was going to be a challenge. Nope, you literally looked for a picture of the Grinch on colored paper. Then write down the color and letter on your sheet. Unscramble the letters and you're a winner. Not very hard but kind of fun.

Besides looking for Grinches, some of downtown businesses had window displays. It was fun looking at all the window displays as well.

My prize for completing the scavenger hunt was a giant lollipop.

We got in line for the carriage ride but decided to was taking too long and headed home. It literally took you around Opera Square.

While we waited we saw other Dr. Seuss characters.

It was a fun event especially for families with small children. I might go back and do it again next year. Maybe we will even do breakfast.
