The Trenton Rotary Club November 3rd heard about holiday plans in Trenton.
Barb Spencer and Cathie Smith discussed Christmas activities at the Grundy County Museum. They include a visit from Santa Claus November 5th. Children can have their picture taken with Santa, and there will also be other photo op stations.
A Saint Nicholas Square collection will also be on display with other holiday decorations. The Sager family donated the Saint Nicholas Square collection.
The museum will also be open December 2nd when Five Points Alive hosts the Annual Downtown Christmas Parade and other holiday activities.
Christmas Parade Organizer Cindy Jennings said entries will line up at the Farmers Bank of Northern Missouri and leave the bank at 5:30 that evening. They will travel to Sunnyview Nursing Home, Bristol Manor, and Eastview Manor as well as the Princeton Manor Apartments before heading toward the Grundy County Jewett Norris Library. The parade will then go down Main Street through the Downtown area.
