(Le Mars) — “Hometown Christmas in Le Mars” is scheduled for this weekend with many activities being planned for the entire day, leading up to the Christmas concert and lighting of the Christmas tree at the Olson Cultural Events Center on Saturday evening. Maggie Catton is assisting with the coordination and organization of the day’s events. She says Hometown Christmas in Le Mars will become a new holiday tradition for the community that refers to itself as the “Ice Cream Capital of the World.” Catton tells of the many daytime events scheduled for Saturday.

Speaking about Rudolph…there is a reindeer roundup that will be on First Street northeast featuring live reindeer. New this year as part of the Hometown Christmas celebration is the 5K and 10K Santa’s Fun Run.
