Create your own holiday magic at the 4th Annual Santa’s Merry Makers Market! Join us on Saturday, December 12, from Noon to 5:00 PM at the Historic Sydenstricker Schoolhouse for a festive, family-focused celebration of our talented, creative, and generous community. Inside, the schoolhouse will be transformed into a magical wonderland. Step into Santa's Workshop, where children can visit with Santa, drop off their holiday wish letters, and create a special holiday craft to take home. Both kids and adults can warm up and sample delicious homemade baked treats, hot cocoa, and fresh popcorn generously provided by community members and local businesses. Then, step outdoors to experience the charm of an old-world, European-style holiday market. Explore over 50 vendors featuring unique, giftable treasures, holiday decor, handmade crafts, and specialty baked goods—all created by members of our community, alongside featured local authors. Skip the commercial clutter and mall Santas this year, and join us at the schoolhouse for this truly unique, hyper-local holiday event!
