[November 08, 2011]  Pride of the Prairie -- The Lincoln Park District is presenting the 17th annual Pride of the Prairie Folk Art and Craft Show on Saturday, Nov. 26, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event brings together a collection of the area's finest artisans and craftsmen. Exhibitors are selected for the quality and design of their work. This sale is a great opportunity to start your Christmas shopping.

Shop the Galleria

The park district has arranged for a chartered motor coach for a trip to shop the Galleria Mall in St. Louis on Friday, Dec. 2. The group will leave from the park district location on Primm Road at 8 a.m. There will be a brief "pit stop" on the drive down. Plans are to arrive at the Galleria around 10 a.m., leave St. Louis around 6 p.m. and be back in Lincoln before 9 p.m. Feel free to bring snacks, magazines or your iPod. No meals will be provided. The bus line asks that no dairy products be brought for consumption on the trip. Seats are available to the first 55 registrants, and the cost is $35 per person. Register at the park district front office.

Treats with Santa

Moms and dads, bring your children to the Lincoln Park District on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9 to 11:30 a.m. to meet Santa. There will be milk and cookies and a coloring project for the kids while they wait.

CITV 5 will be there to tape the interaction and will air it on local cable throughout the month of December. It will also be available on streaming video at www.citv5.com after it has been edited and posted.
