Santa Saturday - Downtown Racine

I'll be at McGrane's Woodworking at 310 6th Street showing and, hopefully, selling my one-of-a-kind designer Jewelry. Stop by, say hi and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cookie. There’s a lot to look forward to this winter as the magic of the holidays continues in Downtown Racine. The fi rst three Saturdays in December are Santa Saturdays with frosty fun outdoors and Christmas shopping indoors. Take a trip to Monument Square for traditional treats, including fresh-baked cookies and hot chocolate, and take a carriage ride through Downtown. Meet Santa, take part in Christmas crafts and visit the Reindeer Ranch. Enjoy live entertainment and caroling with local church choirs and school groups. Enjoy a walking tour of Downtown to view the display of beautifully decorated trees that are part of the 2008 Winterfest Tree Raffle. Raffle tickets are only $1 each (or six for $5) for a chance to win a new tree for your home this holiday season. Nothing says — or smells like — Christmas more than a beautiful fresh Christmas tree, wreath or centerpiece in your home. For many families, selection and purchase of a Christmas tree is an annual tradition, and bringing home the tree signals the official start of the holiday season. This year, live, freshly-cut trees will be available for sale at Monument Square during Santa Saturdays. Balsam Wreaths will be offering the freshest trees in the area at reasonable prices. You can also purchase decorative wreaths, kissing balls and special-order your holiday centerpiece. Santa Saturdays will also have all you need for your Christmas shopping. There are unique boutiques, shops and galleries throughout Downtown Racine with safe, convenient parking ramps, and plenty of restaurants and coffeehouses where you can enjoy a well-deserved rest There’s a lot to look forward to this winter as the magic of the holidays continues in Downtown Racine.
