Our “A Katy Old Fashioned Christmas” was a huge success last year. We had 20, 0000 lbs of snow for the kids ,which turned into snow ball tossing and snow men making! Santa came in on the fire truck to the delight of the children. We had 60 Arts, Crafts, Antiques and food vendors to the delight of the parents. This year we plan on the same plus more food vendors and activities for the kids. If any company would be interested in sponsoring the event or donating an item for our silent action or volunteering to help the day of the event. Santa and the snow arrive at 12 pm .
