~*~*~* NEW THIS YEAR!
Heritage Vineyard Church is bringing KIDS' GAMES & ACTIVITIES to Christmas in Kalkaska! 
From 6 to 6:45 and again, after the parade, join in the merriment in the Railroad Square Pavilion. 

Watch for that last parade entry (provided by the Kalkaska DDA) when we welcome the Jolly Old Elf himself, directly from the North Pole! Santa will be ready to listen to all our children's Christmas wishes at the Clock Tower at Railroad Square. Miss Kalkaska and her court will assist Santa and pass out candy canes.
After the parade, you can enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and a cookie donated and served by the Kalkaska United Methodist Church, the Kalkaska Kiwanis, and KMHC. Sing along with music from the WKLT Little Town Jerky Giant Red Radio if the spirit moves you, and have a great evening of memory-making!
Thanks to Josh and Jess for being the keepers of the fire at the Museum parking lot again this year. Thanks to the National Trout Festival® for use of their patio heaters.
