In addition, the Elsah Museum, both Bed and Breakfasts and churches will be open for tour. Lunch will be available for purchase at Farley’s Music Hall between 1:00 & 6:00 p.m. (or until sold out) catered by My Just Desserts.
New this year; you can tour the classrooms, and purchase raffle tickets at the Old School House. The day’s festivities culminate with caroling and a visit from Santa between 5:45 & 6:30 p.m.
