RINGWOOD – With large umbrellas pulled low over their heads, a group of visitors huddled together in the back of a horse-drawn wagon for the short ride from the Wiedrich barn to the Powers-Walker House at Glacial Park.

Inside the barn, a couple of dozen people milled around various ornament-making stations – children, teens and their parents all focused intently on their creations.

They were among more than 120 people who ventured out in Saturday’s chill and rain to check out the McHenry County Conservation District’s Historical Holidays Open House.
