Each Saturday in December at sundown, the store will host entertainment, activities and a visit from Santa.
At the event’s close near the end of December, the art will be auctioned at a post-event celebration. Proceeds from the auction, which does not yet have a firm date, will go to Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic. The nonprofit grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
