This year promises some great entertainment at PSU’s Silver Center for the Arts.

The Fes- tival of Trees will be open all day Saturday, closing at 7 PM.
Saturday, Dec 7th, is a very busy Celebration Day. Plym- outh Recreation starts the day with their annual Jingle Bell 5k Fun Run and Walk, with regis- tration starting at 8 AM. Then, from 11 AM to 2:00 PM, the Bridge House holds its annual Kids Cookie Walk at the Senior Center.

From 4-5 PM, many Main Street establishments will be of- fering their hospitality for warm- ing and treats. At 4:30, Master of Ceremonies Tim Keefe leads us in holiday songs and fun on the Common. And at 5 PM, it’s the Parade!!!! Prior year’s parades have bustled with brightly lit floats, bands, a “wrecker train,” decorated walking groups, a Chi-
nese dragon, decked out animals, dance troupes, and, of course, Santa. What will this year bring? Will you be in the parade? We can’t wait to see. Registration is free, and there’s still plenty of time. Visit https://plymouthro- taryfoundation.org/ to register.
After the parade, Santa will visit with the kids at the Senior Center. Across Green street we’ll fire up a HUGE Bonfire to warm you up and enjoy. Thanks for joining us.
On Sunday, skate for free with
Santa at the PSU ice arena from 11AM to 1PM (Note the new time). Santa will be on the ice for visiting and photo opportunities. Thanks to PSU, free skates are available.
