“The Lakeside Chamber is thrilled to host this wonderful holiday event,” said Kathy Kassel, executive director, Lakeside Chamber of Commerce. “This event will give everyone an opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of Christmas – and get a little holiday shopping done too.”
The evening will kick-off with the arrival of Santa and the lighting of the community Christmas tree at 5pm by the Lakeside Fire Department. Then event guest can saunter up and down Maine Street to experience visits with Santa, vendor booths, crafting tables, delicious eateries, kids’ zone and holiday music. Children are encouraged to bring letters to Santa and drop them off in the special mailbox with delivery just to the North Pole. Remember to enclose a self-addressed stamped return envelope so Santa can send a letter back. The special North Pole mailbox will be onsite at the Lakeside Historical Society on Maine Avenue until December 24th.
