It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the North Bend Community Center and on December 8th Santa will be arriving in the famous old fire truck full of colored lights, bells and a siren to let everyone know, naughty or nice, that he has arrived. It is a North Bend tradition and Santa will land merry and bright at 6pm to deliver holiday cheer! It all happens just in time to help Mayor Wetherell with the tree lighting ceremony. There are always songs and cheerful giving when Santa arrives! Along with a candy cane from Santa, this will be the third year that every child will receive a stocking filled with girl and boy items and a toothbrush. This new tradition was the result of a young boy’s wishes while visiting Santa and now a wonderful addition to the celebration. The stockings will be sewn and graciously donated by the women at Holy Redeemer Church. Stockings will be filled by the North Bend Fire Dept. and all the wonderful items provided and dispersed by the North Bend Police Department. K-Dock Radio Station, Teen Idol contestants, and Vocal Jazz Ensemble will all be part of the entertainment singing Christmas songs and doing their part to make this a festive and jovial occasion. One of the many highlights to enjoy will be the tasty morsels for the community to sample. Decorations, music, cookies, cider & treats …it’s an evening of Christmas magic for big and small alike. You may be the winner of a sparkling new bicycle as North Bend Sanitation has donated one girl bike and one boy bike with helmets! Santa’s helpers will be collecting ticket stubs for all the children ages 12 & under to enter the give–away! Your child will also have the opportunity to participate in the Boys and Girls Club, Arts & Craft tables with fun activities available for an unforgettable evening! North Bend Community Center; 5:45 Doors Open; 6:00 Santa Arrives; 6:00-7:00 Activity Table; Cookies, Coffee & Warm Cider; Bicycle & Helmet Drawing – Children must be present to win! Nothing says Christmas time like the lighting of the North Bend Christmas tree! The smell of the pine, the twinkling of the lights….let the magic of Christmas begin by celebrating with us Thursday, December 8th at the North Bend Community Center!
