Downtown Allen will be the place to be this Saturday, December 15^th , as a visit from a very special guest has been planned for children of all ages. The Allen Chamber of Commerce has, once again, made arrangements with Santa Claus to take time from his busy schedule to make an appearance. He will be visiting with everyone at the Allen Masonic Lodge on West Broadway starting at 2:00 pm.

In addition to Santa, Connor Wilson will be entertaining with songs of the season while you enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. There will also be ornaments to make and take home to decorate your tree.

Following Santa’s visit everyone is invited to move down the street to the front of the Allen Food Center with their “Shop at Home” tickets for the prize drawings. To be given away are a 50” 4K smart TV, a tailgate generator, electric smoker, and a turkey fryer. Approximate time of the drawing will be 2:30 pm. Winners must be present and only one prize may be claimed per household.
