Shops will be open late and there is usually some sort of live music on the street.
The Rusty Bucket always has a tasting or evening special going on from 6-9 pm.
Join us Thursday evening, November 2, when we reopen the doors at 6:00pm with a shop filled with our new seasonal decor.

From 9AM - 2PM, Santa will be at the Apex Depot (Chamber of Commerce) for Pictures with Santa. Tickets will be available starting at 8:30 AM.

Children are also able to sit & visit Santa for no cost, but pictures are not allowed to be taken.
