Early this week, everyone's favorite home on the road appeared in downtown Columbia City, making it clear Santa's arrival is imminent. The Columbia City Downtown Business Association welcomes Santa Claus to his home on the Whitley County Courthouse lawn, above, on Friday, November 25, 2011, at 5 p.m. Santa will welcome visitors and hear Christmas wishes inside his cottage until 8 p.m. that evening.
Santa's house will be open to visitors Friday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m. as well as Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 3 p.m. Santa's house is open Christmas Eve from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Santa's House is sponsored by the Columbia City Downtown Business Association as is located at the corner of Chauncey and Van Buren Streets. There is no cost for children to visit with Santa, but freewill offerings for the upkeep of his home will be accepted.
