Saturday’s hours vary per business but the event is scheduled to continue well until 2:00 Saturday afternoon and some shops will remain open normal business hours on Saturday.
Santa is scheduled to arrive on the square in a mule pulled wagon at 5:00. After about an hour and a half of Santa touring the various businesses and riding around the square with kids and their parents, Santa will be set up at Ethan’s Custard and Chips at 6:30 for picture opportunities. You must bring your own camera to take pictures. In addition to the various sales, the participating merchants are offering some door prizes ranging for gift certificates to leather jackets. WBRY will be giving away two tickets to the Volunteer Jam set to take place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on November 30th. Everyone who registers in each business for that particular business’s door prize will be automatically eligible to win the tickets. Our drawing will be held Monday morning at 8:00 immediately following the local and area news. Christmas music will be playing throughout the square tonight and tomorrow.
