CAROLS IN THE CAVE: Some singing holiday fun in a cave 
[:06 We all just have a ball ... I mean it's Christmas ... it's time for us to let 
the kid in us come out] ... we'll explain on Passport to Texas.

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

If your Christmas activities have become a ho-hum jingle-
bell bore, maybe it is time to take your celebration to the 
next level -- the lower level -- of Longhorn Cavern.

Every year we do what we call our caroling in the cave, and what 
it is, is a Christmas party for our visitors. :06

Pam Plant is the event coordinator at Longhorn Cavern 
State Park in Burnet. She says everyone needs to leave 
any Scrooge-like tendencies at the door for this all ages 
holiday hoedown.

I mean, it's Christmas. It's time for us to let the kid in you come 
out. :04

Visitors participate in trivia games for prizes, until it is 
time to descend into the cavern singing the Twelve Days 
of Christmas.

We have various artists who will be coming out doing these 
concerts, and most of them will do the sing-a-long Christmas 
carols that the audience really loves. Toward the end of the 
caroling or concert segment, we hand out candles, and the 
guests come out of the cave singling silent night. :17

Ah, but that's not where it ends.
 
Once they return back to the surface, we have a feast that 
awaits them consisting of warm finger foods, dessert and hot 
spiced cider. We'll play some more games, give out our big door 
prizes, and then we end the whole evening with a reading of 
The Night Before Christmas. :17

The concerts are December 17, 20 & 21. We have complete 
details, including cost and times at passporttotexas.org.

That's our show ... For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm 
Cecilia Nasti.
