Join us for old-fashion Christmas fun on the 1st Sunday of December. Celebrate with your children doing Christmas kids’ crafts and visiting with Santa! Or see what home-made baked goods and crafts are for the taking. Local businesses on our downtown cobblestone 5th Street have open houses with treats and special sales. There is a Living Nativity that takes place, followed by the traditional tree lighting of the giant 30′ Christmas tree located right in the middle of the main intersection downtown. Get into the Christmas spirit with our community celebration!
