Kick the holiday season off with a fun-filled morning in Middlebury on Saturday, Dec 3rd. At 9:45am, welcome Santa to Middlebury as he arrives via fire truck, over the Cross Street Bridge and up Main Street, going around twice to give everyone time to see him. Then, enjoy a visit with the right jolly old elf himself at the Community House from 10:00-12:30pm. Tickets to see Santa are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis via a number system, beginning at 9:00am. No need to wait around for your turn- you can go enjoy the other town activities and we'll give a window of time in which to return.

Once again this year, we're offering free horse-drawn wagon rides through town. We will be putting up ribbons to start a line and are asking you to please stand in the line to board this year. A reminder that anything purchased in Middlebury can be wrapped for free at 51 Main from 12:00-4:00pm—just show your receipt! And, of course, make time for a cozy cup of hot cocoa from the always-popular Hot Cocoa Hut in Cannon Park; just 25 cents for a cup with all the fixings! The Hot Cocoa Hut will be open from 9:30am-2:00pm. Snap some photos with the character cut-outs around the downtown and be sure to look for ten baby bear ornaments hidden in storefront windows to enter the I-Spy contest, details at the Vermont Bookshop.

Don't miss the many wonderful things happening all around town tomorrow...it's a Very Merry Middlebury!
