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.
