Christmas Stroll offers ton of fun this Friday

Published on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 3:07 PM MST

The Christmas Stroll in Sidney is a great way to kick off the holiday season. Contests, a visit from Santa and a night-time parade are some of the attractions that you can enjoy in downtown Sidney Friday.

If you’re young or have children, you can enjoy the day after Thanksgiving with a matinee at Centre Theatre at 1 p.m. Admission price is only $5.

Santa then arrives straight from the North Pole to hear children’s Christmas wishes. The Jolly Old Elf will be available for photos from 3-5:30 p.m. at the Village Square Mall.

Adults, meanwhile, can have their own fun with a scavenger hunt. Lists will be available at Gulliver’s, and shoppers may be able to earn prizes.

Entertainment will run from 4:30-6 p.m. on East Main Street. Other activities include horse rides and miniature pony rides.

You don’t want to miss the first soup contest for the Christmas Stroll. It takes place at Restorx from 5-6:30 p.m., so make sure you go there and sample all the soups for just $1.50. Children, meanwhile, can have fun decorating cookies at Restorx during the same time.

Don’t miss getting a beautiful tree or wreath at The Parade of Trees auction from 6-7 p.m. in the Village Square Mall. Finally, the Parade of Lights begins on Central Avenue at 7 p.m.; take note of the new time.

It’s a lot of fun to begin the Christmas season. So make a point to come and support our local businesses.
