Happy Friday Everyone,

HO, HO, HO! It's a magical time of year and Santa is coming to town tomorrow evening! Join the City of Batesville, Batesville Area Chamber, and Batesville Main Street in downtown Batesville starting at 4 pm when Santa's Village opens. Enjoy Holiday Characters, BCSC Choirs, Boar's Head Characters, Kid's Activities, Food Vendors, Smores, Carriage Rides, and so much more. Thank you to all of our Holiday Festivities sponsors too!

Then line the streets to enjoy the Batesville Area Chamber "Holly Jolly Holidays" parade that begins at 6 pm. Following the Parade, join in a Sing-Along with Miss Shannon and Bryce Mullins followed by Mayor Bettice's Proclamation. Mayor Bettice, along with Santa and some special guests will then light up the Christmas Tree.

Walk through the Winter Wonder Lights at Batesville Sky and then head on over to the Gibson Theatre for a free movie "Jingle Jangle" at 7:30 pm.

Remember to keep getting your Chamber Passports stamped at any participating business. All you have to do is shop local and for every $10 your spend, you will receive a stamp. Fill it up and then drop your passports back off at the Chamber office now until Dec. 16th. Your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win up to $500 in Chamber Checks (Gift Certificates). Remember that shopping and supporting local really does make a difference!
