Santa Claus plans to greet children at the Center Mall starting this weekend.
The jolly old gentleman will be waiting in the area next to the Kreps Family Farms snack bar from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, as well as from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. He’ll be back Sept. 17 through 19.
Families are invited to take their own photos during their visits. Santa will gladly accept nonperishable food items as a thank-you gift — to be given to the local food pantry.
