Oakdale's Free 'Winter Wonderland' is Back
The Winter Wonderland will be at the Oakdale Discovery Center on Saturday.
And just in time for the city's Winter Wonderland event.

"When we started it was very small at the old Nature Center building," Williams said. "We probably had 100 people or so, and now it has evolved to more than 1,000 people."
Williams said the free event is in its fifth year at the Oakdale Discovery Center. The following will be featured at the event this year:
