Join us on Saturday, December 4 at noon at the Adna Grocery and from 3-6 p.m. at Back Memorial Park where we are celebrating the holidays with music (provided by Adna Schools), a Lion’s Club food drive, visits from Santa and, of course, a tree lighting!

Santa is scheduled to fly in by helicopter at Adna Grocery at 12 p.m. (weather permitting). He will also arrive at 3 p.m. for more visits at Back Memorial Park.

After months of social distancing and COVID precautions, we hope to safely bring the community together outdoors with this event. This is a great time to gather, with goodwill and celebrate the season! Dress for the weather and bring an umbrella if needed.

Thank you to our sponsors: Adna School District, Adna Lions Club, Adna Grange, Adna Grocery, Adna Youth Baseball, and many other community members and local businesses for their generous contribution of time and resources.
