Be sure to mark your calendars and bring the kiddos to a pre-Christmas visit with Santa on December 23. This year marks the return after eight years to City Hall in Wessington Springs. With the dissolving of the Wessington Springs Area Chamber of Commerce in March 2015, several organizations were approached to take over events which the Chamber had coordinated. Springs Area Community Club (SACC) agreed to take over Santa Saturday, holding it in conjunction with their chili feed at the Senior Center in recent years.
This year, area Santa fans can count on him arriving by fire truck courtesy of the Wessington Springs Volunteer Fire Department at 11 a.m., followed by the opportunity to visit with Santa at City Hall located on the southwest corner of Wallace Ave and Main Street until 12:30 p.m. on December 23.
Thanks to Dennis and Sandy Beckman, each child who plans to visit City Hall for Santa Saturday will get a treat bag full of goodies.
