In 2024, the fun began with Breakfast with Santa at the Vergennes United Methodist Church, across from the Opera House, 9:00-11:30am. In the afternoon from 1:00-3:00pm, Santa and Mrs. Claus welcomed the children at 48 Green Street, One Credit Union, sponsors for the day-long event. CLICK HERE to see what the day entailed. Shout out of thanks to the Bixby Memorial Free Library for partnering with us once again. The fun went on into the early evening at City Park - lighting of the trees, firepits, hot chocolate, caroling and, once again, the arrival of the famous S.D. Ireland lighted truck delighted us all.
