It is time to find out who has been naughty or nice because Santa Claus is coming to town to share the holidays with local children. Santa has been busy as he was featured in Goody’s ads, HGTV holiday commercials, the Fantasy of Trees Benefit, and the Knoxville Christmas Parade, but he is very excited to visit the Weldon Public Library in Martin this Sunday, December 7th from 12:30-2:30. Children will appreciate the friendly atmosphere and not having to battle the crowds or stand in long lines like at the mall. When they come to visit Santa, children will have the opportunity to tell him all of their holiday wishes, enjoy cookies and refreshments, and have their picture taken for years of lasting memories. Your 5x7 photo will arrive in the mail to your home. This event is being held to bring some joy to the children of Martin at Christmas and to help raise money for the Brian Brown Memorial Greenway Foundation which is working to build a safe walkway for pedestrians through the city of Martin. All of the afternoon’s activities are included in a $10 donation to the Greenway project. Santa’s visit is sponsored by the Martin Greenway Citizens’ Advisory Committee, UTM Office of University Relations, and, of course, Santa. For more information call 588-2507.
