To kick off the holiday season, Forest the Elf returned to Noblesville for his fourth consecutive year on Friday at the Ice Plaza at Federal Hill Commons. Forest also helped the Noblesville Fire Department provide toys for less-fortunate families in Noblesville.
Along with the ice skating, Santa Claus made his first visit to the new Christmas Cottage on Friday night at Federal Hill Commons. Children are invited to visit Santa on the First Merchant Pavilion’s stage to tell him what they’d like for Christmas every weekend throughout December.
“We are excited to have Santa visiting with area children at a new venue,” said Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Bennett. “The Christmas Cottage will have a fun atmosphere and, as always, Santa is free to visit and parents are welcome to bring a camera to capture memories.”
