Donations to the Antelope County Food Pantry will be accepted. Canned items may be dropped off at the event.

Santa Claus will make an appearance, so youngsters are urged to bring a wish list to share with jolly old St. Nick.

Sleigh rides will be available on Main Street throughout the evening.

Clearwater Public Library will offer several activities for youngsters. A make-and-take craft table will be set up, with age-appropriate holiday crafts.

The library will sponsor a cake walk, with proceeds to go toward library programming and updates.

A Santa pop-up shop will be available for youths who want to select a gift for a family member or friend. Director Kathy Feusse said affordable gifts for all ages will be available.

The event is sponsored by the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce.
