Leader Chamber of Commerce presents Santa Night on December 2
By Mallory Cawthra
From 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., The Leader and District Chamber of Commerce will be hosting “Santa Night” in Leader. Starting at 6:00 p.m., Santa will be ready in the gazebo at the Millennium Gardens to take photos – the cost is $3 and includes a treat bag. This year, the intention for “Santa Night” is to go back to some normalcy while still adhering to the SHA Regulations. “The Garden of Lights” will be on display at the Millennium Gardens for the Christmas season, and Santa will be in good cheer!
There will also be late-night shopping on December 2nd and different treats available for shoppers at participating businesses. Holiday Passports will be ready to pick up at any participating open business in Leader, and a purchase at each location will earn a stamp on the Holiday Passport. Once the Holiday Passport is full of stamps, it can be entered into the draw box at the Millennium Gardens for the chance to win a prize basket donated by local businesses. Starting at 8:00 p.m., there will be a fireworks display in front of the Millennium Gardens, courtesy of the Town of Leader, a toasty bonfire to enjoy, as well as entertainment provided by local carollers.
In addition, there is also the chance to win $100 in Leader dollars by completing the following: follow The Leader and District Chamber of Commerce Facebook and/or Instagram accounts (@leaderchamber on Instagram and Leader & District Chamber of Commerce on Facebook), like the original “Santa Night” post on each account, and share the “Santa Night” poster on your stories, tagging The Leader and District Chamber of Commerce. The draw date is November 30th, 2021, just in time for late-night shopping on “Santa Night.”
Some of the businesses contributing to the success of “Santa Night” include Dirk’s Family Pharmacy, Ace Hardware, Leader IGA, Sandhills Credit Union, Jag Farms, G3, Leader Pharmacy, IG Wealth Management, Leader Liquor Mart and Touchdown Towing.
