Hundreds Attend Holiday on Main Street

It didn’t look a lot like Christmas outside Veterans Memorial Community Center Saturday afternoon, with the morning’s flurries melting away and a youngster or two performing stunts at the skateboard park.

But walk inside, and there was a wonderland of Christmas decorations, holidays crafts and games, music and, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus awaiting you.

Hundreds of residents attended Inver Grove Heights’ annual Holiday on Main Street celebration Saturday afternoon.

Scores of residents were lined up and prepared to celebrate the season before doors opened at 2 p.m. And, those who drove to the event were greeted with a overflowing parking lot in front of the community center.

To say the event was well-attended is an understatement.

Residents were treated to free food, games and toy giveaways.
