WOOSTER'S WINDOW WONDERLAND

Main Street Wooster will present Wooster's official welcome to the holiday season with Window Wonderland on Friday, Nov. 22 from 3-9 p.m.

The highlights of the evening’s program include the lighting of the Children’s Tree on Public Square and, of course, the appearance of Santa.

Santa will make his descent from the rooftop of The Briggs & Starr Building at Public Square (with assistance from the Wooster Fire Department), following a musical program at 7 p.m. which will feature Summer Stage Wooster. Some very special elves – The College of Wooster cheerleaders — will be assisting Santa this year.

In addition, there are free horse-drawn wagon rides, courtesy of Wayne Savings and Spring Mist Farms of Brunswick Hills, and two very live reindeer, sponsored by the Commercial & Savings Bank. Children can have their pictures taken with Santa at the pavilion, while throughout downtown, you can get a cup of hot chocolate, coffee, hot apple cider, and Lerch’s Donuts at Main Street Bank. There’s ornament making, plenty of music, and open houses at most of the stores, an excellent time for visitors to begin holiday shopping.

Downtown store windows will be unveiled at 3 p.m., with Summer Stage Wooster Christmas caroling at 6:45 and the tree lighthing ceremony at 7. Santa will descend from the top of the Briggs & Starr Building soon after, and then listen to the Christmas wishes of kids in the holiday tradition.

Other attractions that take place after Santa arrives include:
—Horse-drawn carriage rides, in front of Main Street Bank on N. Market St.
—Miser Brother Battle: Fire vs. Ice, in front of Uptown Downtown Antiques
—Toy train rides, in front of RE/MAX on W. Liberty St.
—Live reindeer, in front of Liberty Commons on E. Market St.

This is also the fourth year of the Great Elf Scavenger Hunt, in which participants grab a passport at participating locations and begin the self-guided tour of downtown Wooster to spot elves, then return the passport to the Main Street Wooster office for a chance to win prizes featuring local merchandise and Downtown Dollars, sponsored by the Apple Creek Banking Company.

In the Window Wonderland contest, downtown merchants compete for advertising prize packages from MCTV, WQKT/WKVX, and the Wooster Weekly News.
