Merrill to host Christmas in the Park

8 years ago

MERRILL, Maine — The Merrill Millstream Park Committee has planned another Christmas in The Park for this Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This has become an increasingly popular attractions, with approximately 87 children attending last year.

Everyone gets a chance to see Santa and share their Christmas wishes. There is always plenty of hot chocolate and cookies generously handed out prior and during Santa’s visit. Everyone is welcome, and there is no fee.

In the past, families have come from surrounding towns of Merrill, Smyrna, Oakfield, Dyer Brook, Moro, Island Falls, Houlton and Linneus. Besides getting to see Santa, each child also receives a “Goody Bag” with a variety of surprises inside.
