Community Invited to Celebrate Santa’s Arrival Saturday at Green Tree Mall
(November 1, 2016) CLARKSVILLE, IN – Bring the kids to help welcome Santa as he arrives at his seasonal home at Green Tree Mall on Saturday, November 5th, at 10am. Meet at the mall’s main entrance and be on the lookout as he arrives with sirens blaring and lights flashing aboard a hook & ladder truck courtesy of the Clarksville Fire Department. Next get ready to join two ‘living balloon’ elves, stilt walkers, jugglers and special guests and parade Santa through the mall to Center Court. Everyone is welcome!
After the parade plenty of free family fun begins. Kids will enjoy make-it-and-take it crafts, face painting, and balloon twisting.
