Join Almelund residents in greeting Santa at an old-fashioned Santa Claus Day on Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Amador Town Hall. Santa will arrive by horse drawn wagon at 2 p.m. and will greet children of all ages until 4 p.m. Coffee, hot cider and Christmas goodies will be served. Check out the giant Santa.

Horse drawn wagon rides will be sponsored by Amador Clydesdales, Maggie Kuusisto and Jeff Frisco from 2 -- 3 p.m. You'll love this, dress warmly.

The Friends of the Amador Heritage Center will sponsor a gift and bake sale between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. Get your personalized hand-painted Christmas ornaments (on wood, tin or glass) during those hours. All proceeds go toward the museum log cabin restoration project. Donations of crafts and baked goods are gratefully accepted.

Also needed are donations of home baked Christmas cookies and bars which will be served during the afternoon with coffee and hot cider.

For more information contact Lin Strong at (651) 269-3580. These events are free, family friendly and open to the public -- please come and join us in this celebration. Almelund is located at the intersection of Hwy. 95 and County Road 12 between Taylors Falls and North Branch. The Amador Town Hall is located behind the Almelund Mercantile.

You are encouraged to drop off toys for the Anonymous Santa Project at the Amador Town Hall during this event.
