Beaverdale's Holiday Happenings - Saturday, December 7

Wednesday, November 27, 2024

As the calendar turns from Thanksgiving to the Christmas holidays, Beaverdale will be lighted up and celebrating on Saturday, December 7th for Holiday Happenings!

There's fun for all - a tree lighting, story time with Santa, gift bags, a lighted bike ride and a bar crawl for adults.

There will be TWO story times with Santa this year - 3:15 and 5:15, both taking place at Beaverdale Books. After story time, families can walk to Beaverdale Confections to receive a goodies gift bag.

Kids can have their pictures taken with Santa right after both story times.

A cookie decorating and coloring contest for kids will be available between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm at The American Real Estate Company at 2815 Beaver Avenue, Suite 106.

Come help us light the holiday tree at 5:00 pm - at the southeast corner of Beaver Avenue and Urbandale Avenue. Help count down as the switch is thrown. Santa will be there to help.
