The Marysville Chamber of Commerce will host the annual Christmas Kickoff Saturday. The MHS state football game Saturday has forced some changes to the planned Christmas opening in downtown Marysville.

On Saturday, a live nativity and open house on the Koester block will be featured 10 a.m. -2 p.m., and Santa’s arrival at 10:30 a.m. He will proceed up Broadway from 7th to 9th Streets to his house on the Koester block and visit with youngsters until 2 p.m. Stagecoach and camel rides will also be featured, with the camels, donkeys, sheep, calf, and goats following up Broadway behind Santa to the live nativity scene behind the Koester House Museum. The snowmen past and present, and Four Seasons art display at the arts center will be open Saturday 10-2, and Sunday 1-4.
The annual event, coordinated by the retail committee will be held as originally scheduled this Saturday.
Other events, including the Jingle Run, and Santa’s Christmas Parade will be postponed until the following Saturday, December 2nd due to the game.
