CRESTLINE, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Santa Claus is scheduled to make a festive appearance at the Crestline Public Library next month.

The “Evening with Santa” will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 10, running from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event is a joint effort sponsored by the Crestline Public Library and the Crestline Community Development Team.

Santa will be available to visit with children inside the library throughout the event. In addition to meeting the jolly elf, the library will host free holiday-themed activities including refreshments, kids’ games, and crafts.

Outside the library, horse-drawn carriage rides will be offered by Autumnwood Farm. The rides will cost $5 per person and are a highlight of the annual celebration.

The event offers area families a fun way to celebrate the Christmas season.
