Grow Ellsworth County hosts a Hometown Holiday in Ellsworth with various Christmas-themed activities taking place the entire day. This event replaces the chamber’s past Jingle and Mingle event.

Hometown Holiday will have events throughout the day, including breakfast with Santa, Santa’s sleigh, pictures with Santa and Buddy the Elf, a free movie at the library, a showcase recital at the library and photos with the Grinch. The day will conclude with the lighting of the Christmas tree at 6 p.m. and community caroling. For more information, see the calendar on page A2.
