All are welcome to gather on the Historic Courthouse Plaza to sing Christmas carols, sip hot cocoa and watch for the man in red. Kick off Small Business Saturday early by visiting your favorite downtown merchants! Once Santa arrives, he will flip the switch at 6pm to illuminate the tree on the plaza and the lights along Main Street.
