Santa Claus will be making three special appearances in Eureka this coming week, through various community events.
Christmas On Main Street To begin the festivities, the Marshall Elementary PTA will host their seventh annual “Christmas on Main Street” event on Wednesday, November 29. At 5:15 p.m. students, beginning with pre-school/Kindergarten, will be caroling and decorating trees with ornaments. Santa Claus is scheduled to make an appearance from the North Pole at approximately 5:30 p.m. Students are asked to arrive at 5 p.m., and find their teachers. Popcorn and hot chocolate will be available. Students will also have the opportunity to mail their letters to Santa, in a special mailbox on Wednesday.
Those who wish to use traditional methods of reaching Santa, can still use the United States Postal Service, just by addressing them to Santa at the North Pole, or you can bring the letters to The Eureka Herald.
Letters can also be emailed to santa@eureka herald.com with the subject line to read “Letter to Santa.” The letters will go directly to the North Pole.
