Drive-through Santa visit

HURLEYVILLE, NY — Visit the Hurleyville Performing Arts Centre (HPAC) for socially distanced selfies with Santa on Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 13 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Here’s how it will work: Drive to Main Street, where you will be directed to the line of cars waiting to see Santa. While waiting, you can listen to stories told by Santa on your car radio. Upon reaching the HPAC lobby doors, your party will get out of the car to share your wishlist through the ticket booth window, speak to Santa on a special microphone and take socially distanced selfie photos with Santa through the big glass windows. You must stay in your car at all times until reaching the lobby doors.

To participate in “Give a Gift, Take a Treat,” bring brand-new winter clothing items for HPAC’s annual clothing drive, sized for school-aged kids, and leave with a sweet treat.

A vintage Christmas

NARROWSBURG, NY — Thirty years ago, Brandi Merolla began buying vintage Christmas ornaments at yard sales here in the region. After amassing a huge vintage ornament collection, Merolla started making wreaths with her acquisitions. With a long career in display-making for FAO Schwarz and the record industry, she began assembling vintage elements in her wreaths, hearkening the nostalgia of holidays gone by while recycling all at the same time.

The Narrowsburg Union is showing scores of Merolla’s newest Vintage Ornament Wreaths in its Eagle, Owl and Hawk Galleries until Monday, January 4.

The Vintage Ornament Wreath Show hours are Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All wreaths are for sale and include a gift box.

For more information, visit www.narrowsburgunion.com.
