Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Happy Friday!

Oh my! It's already been a busy week for all of us! I almost forgot about this newsletter! So, I'll make it swift! Here are some happenings... but I guarantee many of you are already booked and attending many of them!

First.
​
Santa Claus is coming to town! Tonight, December 12th, from 5pm-9pm, we will be back out at the Kathleen Area Historical Society’s Heritage Park at 8950 North Campbell Rd for the Merry Market Wonderland!

Vendors, food, treats, live music, and Ole Saint Nick will be there! Free of charge and take your own photos from 6pm-7pm with Santa!

Come support local and tell him what you want for Christmas this year!
