One Nation, Under God

About town Christmas activities

The innocence of kids during the holidays is one of the things that keep us all young. The sparkle of a child’s eye when looking at a Christmas tree, their joyful noise when singing carols or pure happiness when thinking about Christmas morning; without them the holidays just wouldn’t be the same.

This weekend, if you are still looking for that right gift for your kids or those young at heart, stop into the shops in Malta. Toys, books, games, radio controls and personalized gifts can all be found in town. Many shops will be open longer hours through the weekend and on Monday night. They will also be open extended hours each day during the week leading up to Christmas for your last minute shopping! There are many deals and specials that will be running, please check with your shops for details.

No need to cook dinner on Monday night. Stop by the Malta High School’s European Literature Tour Group’s taco dinner at the Malta Business Center. The free will donation helps this group of kids make their way to an incredible experience.

Monday is our third and final Chamber button drawing. Good luck!
