Santa and his elves once again will set up a workshop full of games, music and fun for everyone, opening Thursday at Lincoln Golf Course Clubhouse.
Santa Village is a place where everyone can come and spend time together celebrating the holiday season, a news release said. People of all ages can create crafts, play games, read a book with the elves or Mrs. Claus, go on a horse-drawn sleigh ride and enjoy cocoa and cookies.
More than 30 adorned trees, each with a different theme, will be on display.
Admission for each person is a nonperishable food item, new toy or cash donation. All proceeds will be donated to the local food shelf, Toys for Tots and those community members who need it most.
Here's a schedule for public hours at Santa Village:
