Santa Claus is visiting the Iola square this year, and you still have a chance to meet him.
The jolly man in the red suit will return from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 17, and again from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 19.
Every precaution is being taken, from friendly elves cleaning everything in sight, to masks and social distancing.
Most important of all, the Big Guy is talking to folks from inside an enormous inflatable bubble, so as to keep both himself and others safe.
Santa’s first visit to the square was Thursday evening, and during that time heard the wishes of many excited young people.
