Over the River - Holiday Festival
Kick-off the day by shopping local and end it at the Regional Treatment Center with a drive-through lights display, fireworks and drive-in movie with the family!
Come out as a family and hunt for candy canes throughout our downtown for "Santa's Toy Drop" during Over the River. Specially tagged candy canes will give a child a FREE gift valued around $30. See map & QR code below for details.
BONUS: there will be 10 Golden Tickets affixed to candy canes with instructions on how to set up a virtual visit with Santa starting December 6th!
The Kaddatz Galleries Snowman Making Competition has been slightly revised. In response to the rise in COVID-19 cases in the area (and possible lack of snow!) we think it's best to keep you and your snowmen at home. We invite you to pick up a snowman kit from our festive Grab 'N Go box outside of Kaddatz Galleries beginning at noon (December 5th) until supplies run out. Register when you pick up your kit so your snowman can be entered in the competition for a chance to win prizes. Then, all that's left is to craft your best snowman at home within 5 days of the next snowfall*, post a picture of your snowman on the Over the River Holiday Festival event page on Facebook and wait for the winners to be announced! The 5 day time limit begins after we reach our first foot of accumulated snow. Thank you to our local Fleet Farm store for sponsoring this event!
