The Pella Chamber of Commerce is urging kids who haven’t made their Christmas lists or have last minute additions to head to downtown Pella this weekend.

Director of the Pella Chamber of Commerce Karen Eischen says that Santa Claus is making a visit to Pella on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eischen says there will also be free hot cocoa in front of Boat’s Home Furnishings for shoppers and others visiting the downtown area. She encourages all area residents to shop locally for holiday gifts during the final pre-Christmas purchasing weekend.
