The annual Winamac Winter Wonderland event kicks-off today with Breakfast with Santa at the Pulaski County Elementary School. Various vendor booths will also be set up there from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. ET.
Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce representative Judy Heater explained that some of the vendors will have baked goods and additional types of food while others will feature different kinds of crafts. The Indiana Adoption Program will also have a booth set up where individuals can learn more about Hoosier kids in need of homes and the specifics of the adoption process.
Heater said that the ExPress Choir will sing at courthouse around 10 a.m. and then they’ll head over to the Pulaski County Public Library to join Judge Michael Shurn for cookies and cocoa. Judge Shurn will be at the library from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and the library will also have another visitor; Santa Claus will be there from noon until 2 p.m.
Additionally, a Downtown Christmas Bazaar will be held from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. That event is being hosted by the Pulaski County Historical Society and will take place on Market Street, north of Opera House Floral and Gifts. Heater said many Winamac businesses will also have specials as a part of the Winter Wonderland Event.
Heater said that the festivities won’t cease once the sun goes down. She explained, “In the evening they’re going to offer horse and carriage rides and there will be carolers going around downtown to different businesses.” She said the goal with the event was to have the entire community involved and have it run all day into the evening, so everyone can get the chance to participate at some point.
