Santa and Mrs. Claus will join children and their families for a hayride while Main Street businesses will be open for shoppers. Keystone SMILES also hosts games and offers snacks.
Light Up Night is held in conjunction with the Knox area’s 29th annual Once Upon a Christmas event at 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Nov. 16; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Nov. 17 and noon to 5 p.m., Nov. 18.
Everyone is invited to share the talents of the Knox area as shops and homes once again prepare for “Once Upon a Christmas.”
You will find lunches and suppers at the non-profit organization locations. The library has activities for the children.
To make it easier to find the locations they have adopted a snowman theme, so all you need to do is follow the snowmen.
