THE BATTLEFORDS — It wasn't all fun and games on Dec. 9 as North Battleford's Business Improvement District rang in the holiday season with their Downtown Holiday Festival.
A certain green, hairy and Christmas-hating person also made an appearance downtown to roam the streets and hand out treats, among the swell of other activities.
The event included a free movie at the Capitol Annex sponsored by Battle River Treaty Six Health Centre, cookie decorating at Autumn & Ash, sleigh rides, free gift wrapping and a visit with Santa, and a street hockey tournament with autographs and photos with the North Stars.
The event also featured a downtown Christmas tradeshow featuring local home-based businesses, Indigenous artwork, Christmas baking and local artists.
