Paris, Tenn.–Santa, Rudolph and the elves will roll into downtown Paris on the big, red fire engine at 10 a.m. Friday November 24th, the day after Thanksgiving.
Santa’s grand entrance will kick off North Pole Family Fun Day, an annual event sponsored by the Downtown Paris Association (DPA). With more than a dozen free activities for busy little hands, the fun lasts from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Santa said in an exclusive interview from the North Pole that he will be visiting with youngsters in his Paris home, located on the court square every Saturday and Sunday through the holiday season. He’s also bringing Mrs. Claus with him.
There will be plenty to do Friday, including free craft tables with “make and take” holiday goodies hosted by the 4-H Club and located outside stores throughout downtown. Kids can also enjoy face painting inside Commercial Bank and Trust from 10 am until noon. Every half hour (10:30, 11:00, 11:30; 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, 1:30), members of the HCHS Speech Team will read The Polar Express at the beautifully decorated Old NC&St.L Depot on Fentress Street, now Vicky Muzzall’s Tax Service. “Miss Vicky even gives away free train whistles to all of the youngsters,” Santa said.
There also will be trackless train rides for adults and children, a petting zoo, and other games on the courthouse lawn.
