There’s going to be a Christmas celebration in downtown Oskaloosa Saturday (12/14).  Oskaloosa Main Street Executive Director Emily Brown talks about Merry Little Downtown Christmas.

“It starts at 5 and goes until 8.  You can see the Painting With Lights display in person, if you’ve not seen that before. We’ll have horse drawn rides along the square.   Mahaska Drug has brought Santa Claus to town, so you can meet him.  We have a couple parade floats that are actually going to be there this year, so you can have a chance to see those up close and in person.”

Merry Little Downtown Christmas kicks off at 5:00 in the downtown square with the announcement of the winners for best floats in last week’s Lighted Christmas Parade.  Free will donations will be accepted for next year’s Painting With Lights.  Merry Little Downtown Christmas runs from 5 until 8pm Saturday in downtown Oskaloosa.
