Naughty or Nice?
While you may want to just write off 2020, Santa continues to bring good cheer throughout the land. He and the Mrs. made a quick stop through Vergennes last Saturday night for the Little City's Honking Holiday Sleigh Ride.

Santa promised to come back real soon - IF, we are good! So stay strong, be nice and spread kindness anyway you can!
Oh, and SHOP LOCAL!

Special thanks to SD Ireland! Their lighted cement truck joined Santa last Saturday night through the Little City, much to the everyone's glee, young and old!
Send Letters to Santa at Malabar!

After last week's Honking Holiday Santa Sleigh Ride, Santa's back at the North Pole getting ready for his return come Christmas Eve!

In the meantime, write your letters to Santa and bring them to the special North Pole mailbox at MALABAR. Sign your full name and include your address and he just might write back to you. But hurry - Santa's awfully busy too!
