Best bets this weekend include Singing with Santa and the Holiday Art Walk.
Singing with Santa will begin at 6 p.m. Friday at TBK Bank, 259 West Ninth St.
Carolers will follow Santa’s sleigh from TBK Bank to Buckley Park, where there will be free cookies and hot cocoa, a countdown to the tree-lighting and opportunities to take pictures with Santa.
Community members are encouraged to bring one of these donation items at the start of the event: cans of food, hand warmers, socks, gloves, beanies and used coats and blankets.
All items will be donated to Manna’s kitchen and clients.
Manna is also seeking volunteers to hand out glow sticks to carolers, pass out hot chocolate and cookies to guests and help facilitate photos with Santa.
People interested in volunteering may email Marissa Hunt at services@mannasoupkitchen.com or call 385-5095, ext. 3.
