  • Stay until the concert concludes, when Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for guest photos.
  • Find Christ Lutheran Church at 210 West Green Street within City Hall Block, where the CAN DO program takes place.
  • Plan to remain after the concert if you would like refreshments, which are offered as guests leave.
