Santa is finalizing his plans for visits in the area before he returns to the North Pole to prepare for Christmas.
This Friday night, Dec. 13 and next Friday night, Dec. 20, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., he will be at Santa’s Village. Santa’s Village is located in the park next to the Red Bud City Hall.
Free activities at Santa’s Village include: visits with Santa, a petting zoo, carriage rides, hot cocoa and cookies, balloon art, games and more treats to enjoy around the fire pits.
And then to help send Santa off, the Red Bud Beautification Committee will again be hosting “Santa’s Sleigh Ride,” where Santa will be escorted by the Red Bud Fire Department or Red Bud Police Department through parts of town on his sleigh.
