Santa Claus is making an early stop in Owensboro next Friday evening. He and Mrs. Claus will be the guests of honor at Friday After 5's first-ever Christmas at the Inn at the Holiday Inn Riverfront downtown. The event is the first of several magical and exciting Friday night celebrations in December and Santa plans to be there for all of them.

Christmas at the Inn gets underway at 6pm, Friday, December 2nd and promises fun, family entertainment and a proverbial Winter Wonderland, which will feature fresh, falling snow every 15 minutes!

Now, back to Santa!  He and Mrs. Claus will be there to meet with the kids, get those Christmas lists collected and pose for some holiday photos.

And this is "cool" too- literally and figuratively.  Christmas at the Inn will feature a huge, inflatable igloo where you can enjoy FREE hot chocolate!
