The St. Joseph Christmas Committee has announced multiple weekends of holiday events to be held in beautiful downtown St. Joseph.
The first Christmas in St. Joseph event was inspired by 10-year-old Lana Schott asking the St. Joseph Village Board to have a community Christmas Tree.
“ It’s important because I think it would be good for our town and all the people who live here,” Schott said. “I think it would just bring a lot of joy around Christmas time to everybody.”
Schott and her family are creating the tree topper for the Community Christmas tree that will be lit on Dec. 3. Mayor Tami Fruhling-Voges went a step further and created a Christmas Committee with Chamber President Nora Maberry, Church of Christ Pastor Ryan Rosser and St. Joseph-Stanton Fire Family President Vickie Reese to plan multiple events throughout the holiday season.
Small Business Saturday: Nov. 26, 2022
Participating small businesses will have free ornament kits provided by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. Customers are encouraged to take the kits, decorate them and then bring them to the tree lighting on Dec. 3.
