The Heritage Park Foundation and the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce are gearing up for this year’s “Traditions on the Green.”
The event will feature a pancake breakfast with Santa, concerts on “the green” by local high school and middle school bands, and performances by elementary school choirs.
It also will offer crafts for kids and cookie decorating.
The award-winning teen puppet team from Van Dyke United Methodist Church will perform, too.

Vendors will sponsor a Holiday Scavenger Hunt, with the winner receiving a $50 Walmart gift card, said Sandy Graves, of the Heritage Park Foundation.
The event is slated for Dec. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and will be at the Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5402 Land O’ Lakes Blvd.
While planning efforts are in full gear, organizers are looking for vendors and sponsors to help pull it off, Graves said.
This is the first year the event will be able to take advantage of the upgraded park, which has undergone a $2.4 million renovation.
Next year, Graves hopes that the planned outdoor stage at the park will be available for the annual event’s performing groups.
“Traditions on the Green” aims to be fun, inexpensive, community event, said Graves, who wants to revive the old-fashioned fun she had while growing up in Land O’ Lakes.
Anyone would like to participate in “Traditions on the Green” should call Tina Gibbons at the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce at (813) 909-2722 or Sandy Graves, with the Heritage Park Foundation, at (813) 817-3011.
