On Saturday, December 11th, Santa returns to the Pik n Pig in Carthage. The event runs from 11:30am to 4pm with Santa arriving at 1pm. While the Pik n Pig is in the midst of its rebuild, enjoy food trucks and don’t forget to bring canned goods, coats or toys to share with those less fortunate in the area.
And finally, be sure to head to Aberdeen on Saturday for their annual Christmas Parade. The parade starts at 11am in downtown Aberdeen. Then, check out the Old Fashioned Christmas at Malcolm Blue Farm from 1-5pm. The farmhouse will be open and decorated for the season. Come celebrate Christmas in the spirit of the 1800s!
