Everybody is welcome to join the Historic Crookston’s Winter Wonderland on Thursday, November 30.
The afternoon will be filled with family entertainment starting at 4:00 p.m. You can supply your stockings while visiting local businesses in downtown Crookston. There will be treats, crafts, and gifts that will serve as stocking stuffers. “Santa’s Elves are all going to be down at the Crookston businesses helping him fill the stockings,” said event Coordinator Brian Schumacher, “We’re encouraging people to come out with their Christmas stockings and go to all of the participating businesses, and they will be there to fill them with treats and little gifts.”
There will also be cookie decorating, Christmas card making, letters to Santa, Ornament decorating, and S’mores making beginning at 4:00 p.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m. Also encouraged are all ages to dress up in their favorite winter and Christmas attire during the evening.
Beginning at 5:00 p.m., you will have the opportunity to see live reindeer in action. Bremer Bank and American Crystal Sugar are sponsors for this event. This event will take place at the Synergy Center parking lot and will go on until 7:00 p.m.
The Crookston Rotary will sponsor the annual lighting of the Christmas tree, and will take place at the Main Street Courtyard. This will begin promptly at 6:45 p.m.
However, the fun does not end after the lighting of the Christmas tree. Grand Theatre will have a free showing for individuals and families beginning at 7:00 p.m., where they will screen a family winter/Christmas movie, and every child will be provided free popcorn and beverages. Every event listed for the Winter Wonderland schedule is free of charge.
“This event is something to encourage all of the residents and people in town to get together and enjoy fun festivities,” said Schumacher, “We have the chance to gather and meet new people, so this will be a lot of fun and it’s something to do for sure.”
