Now that we've spread some warmth, it's time to give again, La Vista!

We're kicking off a new effort that we're calling the Helping Hands Food Drive.

We've partnered with the Tri-City Food Pantry to collect boxes of Hamburger Helper, Chicken Helper and Tuna Helper.

We are collecting in November and December and donations can be dropped off at any City facility as well as some community partners as well.

All the info. is on our website at CityofLaVista.org/HelpingHands.

Santa's mailbox has arrived from the North Pole!

His elves have installed it near the top of the parking lot at Santa's Workshop, 8305 Park View Blvd., and it's ready to receive your letters!

If you mail a letter to Santa before December 15, you will receive a reply!

More info. is on our website at CityofLaVista.org/TwastheLights.

Look who's coming to town...again?!!!

Santa was just here a few months ago, but now he's coming back for his traditional pre-Christmas visit!

Santa and his entourage will be here on Sunday, November 29, beginning at 3 p.m.

As you wait along the route for Santa, please stay with your household group, observe social distancing and wear a mask to protect yourself and others!

Because of COVID-19, we will not be handing out candy canes.

Santa will start on the west side of 84th Street from approximately 3-5 p.m. and then will be on the east side of 84th Street from approximately 5-7 p.m.

Route maps and more info. are on our website at CityofLaVista.org/TwastheLights.

Are you ready for a really fun storytime?

This week Ms. Jodi is joined by none other than her family!

The Norton’s are a fun bunch, as you’ll see as they read “Abner & Ian Get Right-Side Up” by Dave Eggers.

Happy almost-Thanksgiving, La Vista!

It may only be mid-November, but it’s really never too early to start planning your letter to Santa! And, it’s 2020, so…

Beginning very soon, a special mailbox will be available on the east side of Santa’s Workshop where you can drive up and drop off your letters to Santa, AND you’ll get a reply!

The North Pole has assured us that any letter mailed by December 15 will receive a reply!
