Santa will make several Ada visits this holiday season - here's where and when

By Monty Siekerman
Santa will pop in and out of Ada several times in the next few weeks. Who is minding the store while he visits here? Mrs. Claus and the elves, we hope.

Look for Santa at:
• ReStore from 5 to 8 pm on Friday, Dec. 4. Children are invited to "shop" for family members, but in this case the "shopping" is free. A child may select a free gift for each person in his/her family. And, the packages will be wrapped at no charge.
