Weekend set to switch on the holidays

Activities abound as Christmas edges closer

By MEAGAN PATTON, Herald Connections Editor

A flurry of activities around Franklin County will kick off the start of the Christmas season this weekend, including tree lightings, Santa Claus sightings and holiday parades.

In Ottawa, festivities will start at 6 p.m. today in Edward E. Haley Community Park, Second and Main streets. The Franklin County Cancer Foundation will serve hot chocolate and cider and tickets to win $100 in Chamber currency will be given out. Residents can bring a non-perishable food item or new toy to be donated to East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corp. to have an extra shot at winning.
