Wagon rides bring holiday nostalgia to Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Ore.– Jacksonville is offering a nostalgic trip to the past with horse-drawn wagon rides through town this December.

Every weekend this month, Tonka, Mato and their driver Garry Rose are supplying a little extra entertainment for the city’s holiday celebrations. For Rose, he says it’s been a great time not just for him but all the families and kids that come to visit as well.

“With the experience I have and this unbelievable team here,” said Rose, “I presented it to city council and they were all for it so here I am!”

If you would like to see the three of them out and about, the wagon rides run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the weekends. If you can’t wait that long, Rose will also be offering wagon rides at a Toys For Tots fundraiser event this Thursday at the Sweet Rose Stables.
