Santa Claus to make visit on Small Business Saturday
From staff reports
VERMILION — The Vermilion Chamber of Commerce wants to make a big impact for small businesses this holiday season.
“There’s something extra special about shopping small during the holidays, especially right here in Vermilion,” according to a chamber statement, pointing to Saturday, Nov. 28 as Small Business Saturday.
The chamber “is kicking off the holiday season with a little Christmas magic,” the statement read, highlighting how:
• At 11:30 a.m., Santa Claus is scheduled to arrive by boat and visit with children in East Exchange Park.
• From noon to 2 p.m., he’ll head to his nearby Santa House to visit with even more kids.
“And while Santa is busy checking his list, it’s the perfect time to check a few names off your shopping list,” the chamber noted. “Spend the day exploring Vermilion, discovering unique gifts, enjoying a delicious meal and supporting the wonderful small businesses that make our community so special,” the chamber wrote.
“Every purchase, every meal and every visit makes a difference to our local businesses,” it added. “This holiday season, skip the ordinary and experience the charm of shopping and dining in Vermilion. Shop small. Dine local. Keep Vermilion thriving.”
