Santa Claus is coming to the Black Diamond Community Center at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Caroling begins at 6:30 p.m. with Stan Terrell on the keyboard. Welcome Santa to Black Diamond follows at 7 when the community Christmas tree will also be lit. Afterward, community members are invited to join the staff and other community members at the Black Diamond Community Center for refreshments, cocoa and cookies. Santa will visit with children so that they can tell him how good they have been this year and let him know their hearts desire for Christmas. Pictures will be taken and available the next week for a $5 donation or you may bring your own camera. Tim Perciful and his sled dogs will be giving sleigh rides in the parking lot.

The “Share the Joy” Giving Tree will be available so that all of those community members who want to be Santa’s Little Elves can pick a card and give the gift of joy to a child or senior who needs a little help from Santa this year. All donations are tax deductible.
