The countdown to Christmas is on and Santa will make his appearance very soon. Haxtun’s Hometown Christmas is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 29. The annual event promises opportunities for local shopping, visits with Santa himself and a hearty chili supper at the fire hall. The event is sponsored by the Haxtun Chamber of Commerce.

The Haxtun Fire Hall will set the scene for Santa’s visit the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Along with the annual chili supper, Santa is set to arrive at the local fire station at 5 p.m. and will visit with children along-side the free-will offering dinner....
