Humboldt’s downtown welcomed the seasonal spirit once again with a pair of special visits on Saturday. 

At the Humboldt and District Museum, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus dropped by for a visit to meet all the kids and find out all about their Christmas wishes. The Museum had colouring and craft activities for the kids as they waited their turn for a visit with the Jolly Old Elf. Both Santa and Mrs. Claus were in great spirits and happy to be back in Humboldt. They’ll be making return visits for the next few Saturdays.

The Christmas crowd was out in full force on Sunday as the Holiday Hometown Market made a return to the Humboldt Legion Hall. This year’s offerings were nothing short of amazing and crafters and artisans set up to display their ways and happy shoppers made their way through the aisles. 

The Festival of Wreaths continued this weekend, and Saturday patrons had an extra treat as Humboldt pianist and composer Ian Eliot stopped by to tickle the keys. While bidders browsed, they enjoyed the wide range of Elliot’s talents. From contemporary pieces to time honoured classics and even the challenging themes of Vince Guaraldi’s heralded soundtrack to “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Ian covered the best with his own style. 

'Tis the season for the jolly red elf to make appearances through communities in the area, and one of his regular stops will be the Humboldt and District Museum.

The Museum elves say that when Santa's in the house, you are welcome to take your own photograph with Santa inside the Museum. There is no official photographer, and no appointments are necessary.  

Santa will be at the Museum Saturday afternoons from 1:30 – 4:00 pm on December 2, December 9, and December 16 as well as Wednesday evening from 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
