Garretson’s annual Hometown Christmas event hosted by the Garretson Commercial Club has become a yearly tradition on par with Jesse James Days, and this year is no different. From Santa visits to a Parade of Lights, there’s something for everyone to enjoy the holidays from December 13-15.
Garretson businesses will be ready for holiday shoppers, with great sales, giveaways, and samples.
The Treasure Chest will have 25% off Melissa and Doug toys and a BOGO sale on socks, coloring books, and certain children’s books. Tucker’s Walk and Humble Hill will be having wine tasting and samplers available. Garretson Food Center will be giving away five $25 gift cards, and Palisades Chiropractic will be doing free adjustments for a new toy donation worth $15 or more. The Gulch and O So Good will be having live music, and the Garretson Museum will be having free popcorn and cider, plus $5 off pottery. The museum will also be doing a drawing for a handmade Bull Whip at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, with raffle tickets available until that time.
Events beyond shopping will abound on Saturday the 14th, with a free customer appreciation breakfast, arts and crafts with Santa, aerial silks performances, toddler train, and fire truck rides. Everything will culminate that evening with the Parade of Lights and Light the Park with Santa.
The full schedule will be available in coming weeks in the Gazette.
