Happy shopping!

Christmas Around Town Is December 4

The Arnold Chamber invites everyone near and far to their annual Christmas Around Town on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.

Local businesses will be having specials and drawings, with some offering extended shopping hours. Santa and his elves will visit Koubek Gardens from 5-7 p.m., and hayrack rides will also be available during that time throughout the community to enjoy local Christmas light displays. Gift wrapping is available at Hotel Custer. Vendors will be set up at Hotel Custer, the Rialto Theatre, and A-Z Ventures.

Be sure to treat yourself or your family while you’re out with a meal at Black Sheep Meats, Grazers Bar & Grill, or The Exchange.
