Santa Clause will be joined by Mayor Benny Jasso other distinguished dignitaries with opening remarks and possibly the Deming Band or Choir will be able to join in as well and add beautiful Holiday songs and music to our celebration. Then our wonderful Giant Everest Fir Tree comes to life with oh so many spectacular multicolored lights. This will be a total sensory delight for both the young and those of us aging to perfection! Immediately following in the Pavilion the Kiwanis Club will have Santa Clause just in from the chilly North Pole to visit with the Kids and hand them a very special gift! Hot chocolate will be available to warm your holiday spirit. Mark your calendars right now so you will not miss these awesome Christmas Season Events, all brought to you by way of collaboration from The Deming Luna County MainStreet Program, the Downtown Merchants Association, the Deming Kiwanis Club and the Deming Luna County Chamber of Commerce.
