The Christmas season will get underway in Sallisaw on Thursday with the annual Christmas Lighting, which will start at 6 p.m. with the arrival of Santa Claus.
The annual event will be held on the lawn of Stanley Tubbs Memorial Library in downtown Sallisaw.
The festivities will include Christmas caroling by local school choirs and free hot chocolate and cookies provided by the Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce.
Santa Claus will visit with children about their Christmas wishes in the gazebo on the library lawn, and the Jolly Old Elf will sit for photos with the children. Those photos will be published throughout the holiday season in Your TIMES.
For more information about the Christmas lighting contact the Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce at 775-2558 or the city at 775-6241.
