The Christmas season hits high gear this week with activities in store for folks of all ages.
Santa Claus will make several appearances in Allen County, including his first arrival at his temporary quarters at the southeast corner of Iola?s courthouse square from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
The visit, sponsored by the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce, will have a special guest Thursday ? one of his reindeer.
