North Platte's Westfield merchants will host a "Christmas in the Neighborhood" day on Saturday, Nov. 23 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. with festivities and merchandise specials.
There will be lots of fun things happening, including Santa and Mrs. Claus, reindeers, crafts, games, story time and tasty treats, organizers say. There will be cookie decorating, ornament making, temporary tattoos and Christmas games, plus hot dogs, roasted marshmallows, smores and hot chocolate.
The Salvation Army kick off their Red Kettle campaign that day. Shoppers are encouraged to bring donations in the Christmas spirit of coats, cans or cash. Donated coats will be cleaned at Orr's Cleaners.
