Mrs. Claus and Santa remind you, if you are in a position to do so, to bring a donation for Camrose Neighbor Aid Food Bank when you visit Christmas Lane.
The magic of Christmas is coming back to Marler Drive,
a.k.a. Christmas Lane, beginning this weekend. The official opening of Christmas Lane will take place on Friday evening, November 28. Drive or walk Marler to experience sparkle, music and holiday cheer, aimed at helping to get everyone in the mood for the holidays. Bundle up, grab some cocoa and make memories under the glow of thousands of magical lights and additional seasonal signs of this precious time of the year. Keep Friday, December 12 open for horse-drawn wagon rides offered free of charge from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (Sponsorships are still available to help with the cost of this popular annual initiative.) Weather permitting, every Friday and Saturday evening from now through December 19 and 20, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be taking time out from their busy schedule to hear children’s Christmas wishes.
