SUMMARY:Hometown Holidays Festival
DESCRIPTION:\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nJoin us for our annual Hometown Holiday Festival! There will be a multitude of activities including Santa & Mrs. Claus, live reindeer, a live Nativity, a drone light show, a Christmas Story Walk, dance performances by Paulynn’s, caroling, music, crafts, food and drink!\nThe 26′ artificial tree ordered for this year was not fabricated on time to make it here for the event. This year’s tree will be real, donated at the last minute by Roy and Sherri Swoboda. As planned, the city crew, headed by PJ Evans, decorated the tree on Saturday, after completing the lighting of the park and downtown medians earlier.\nNew this year is our first ever Drone Light Show by Fantasy Drone Shows. The 15-minute show will be at 8:00 over the Rail Road tracks across Norfolk Ave between 6th & 7th Street.\nNOTES: Snow Date: Tuesday, November 29.
