Area children need to start making their lists to be ready when Santa visits in downtown Allen on Saturday, December 17th. Since there won’t be snow for the reindeer to pull the sleigh, the Jolly Ole Man will arrive by fire truck at 2:00 p.m.

and visit with children on west Main Street.

Following his visit with the children the Allen Chamber of Commerce’s “Shop at Home” drawing will be held in front of the Allen Food Center.
