Escape to Comer Woods with friends, family or the dog to enjoy a natural celebration. Take a wander through the woods to find the decorated trees and be inspired by what local schools and groups have been up to. Stop by the barn to hang your Christmas wish on the wishing tree, then warm up with a drink or a snack at the Café in Comer.
