If you haven’t done so already, now is the time to plan to be in downtown Superior between 5 and 7 p.m. on Friday to participate in the Once Upon a Christmas annual event. From the scheduled activities, it appears it will be a festive time to visit with friends and neighbors and see what Superior stores have to offer this holiday season.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus have confirmed they plan to participate. Mrs. Claus will headquarter near Main Street Floral and will have locally made treats for the youngsters. Santa will be seated in the Farmers & Merchants Bank lobby and visiting with the youngsters who come to see him.
There will be treats galore and meal options. Youngsters may jump in the Snow Globe set up near the Vestey Center. There will also be a silent disco at the Vestey Center. There will be cookies to decorate at Ideal Market. A special movie showing for the youngsters at the Crest. Stop by the Chamber of Commerce office to try your hand at the Cash Cube. And you will want to check out the action outside Superior Ace Hardware. You may drop off your gifts at the GTA Insurance Agency where Superior High School students will offer a wrapping service. The Superior High School Choir will be singing Christmas carols.
Youngsters visiting Bloom Street Burgers will receive a free sundae they may decorate.
