“Christmas in Atlantic” Ready to go

The annual “Christmas in Atlantic” festivities are getting underway. Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kelsey Beschorner says the holiday open house is this Saturday, November 14th.

40-thousand dollars in Atlantic Cash will be sold at a 20-percent discount to help spur holiday shopping. On Thursday, November 19th, the annual Grand Lighting will take place in downtown Atlantic with an evening full of activities.

Saturday, December 5th is the biggest day of all. It starts with Pancakes with Santa at the YMCA, the Festival of Trees, a chance to visit Santa’s Cabin, hot soup a drinks from the YMCA downtown, leading up to the lighted Christmas Parade and fireworks.

There is also still time to nominate someone for the “Angel of Christmas” award, help out the Scrooge candidates as they generate donations for the Atlantic Food Pantry, donate to the “Christmas Box” program and enjoy Santa’s Cabin, carriage rides, the Harvest and Christmas markets and the Cass County Choral Society Concert.
