Santa will also be there to welcome the kids, take Christmas wishes, and pose for pictures; and 3rd Friday Artists will also be on display.
This 3rd Friday is one of the final days for the CCART Annual Art Show and Sale in the Vernon Powell Building, a great place to find unique gifts from local artisans, all while helping to provide visual art scholarships for local high school seniors.
