This will be the third year for the festive event, to be held at the A.W. Todd Centre in Russellville. Holly Day will begin at 10 a.m.

Santa Claus will make an appearance for photo opps with each good little girl and boy, and children can also take the opportunity to write their letter to Santa.

Additionally, winners of the Christmas Card Coloring Contest will be announced, and local vendors will be offering unique Christmas gifts for purchase.

“We’ll have a little bit of everything. It will be fun,” said chamber director Cassie Medley. Admission is $5. Holly Day will wrap up at 2 p.m.
