After you watch Santa ride through town, come take your photo while you drop your letters to Santa in his mailbox!! Free gift to the first 50 children https://facebook.com/events/s/santa-claus-comes-to-town/3806679489383761/?ti=icl

Don't forget! The Annual Santa Parade is tonight. The parade route is North, Lewis and Sunbury Street beginning at 5:30 p.m. To keep the children and Santa ...healthy, we will not have a Meet and Greet this year. But we will have a setup complete with a Letters to Santa mailbox for you to take your own photos dropping your letters to Santa from 6-7 p.m. The first 50 children coming to place their letters will get a gift. After this event, the mailbox will be available for children to drop their letters up until December 23rd outside the Minersville Police Station, 15 N Delaware Ave, Minersville. Remember to put your name on your letters. Maybe if you include your address and Santa or Mrs. Claus isn't busy they can write to you. Please remember to adhere to CDC guidelines and social distancing practices.

Please submit registration for parade to the Borough Office by noon on Friday 10/23/20

Good afternoon, folks. I can really use your help with something. If you can, just help spread the word on this fundraiser Two nice young ladies, Dora and ...Barbara, from the Minersville Area Historical Society approached me a little while ago asking me for help raising some funds. I understand they will use the funds to purchase some software that will streamline scanning and storing important historical documents and photos from in and around Minersville. Also, if you didn't know, the Minersville Area Historical Society does have some things on display for the public. More info on that soon. My friends at the Minersville Area Lions Club agreed to help, too. These guys and gals will help package meals for us. You can purchase tickets through them or at Washington Hotel in Minersville. If you hate spaghetti (or just can't be avaliable) but love the idea, the Minersville Lions can take donations through Square on behalf of the Historical Society. Cheers!

This event is intended for Minersville Borough residents. Please limit to small groups and families. Also, everyone should abide by the CDC COVID-19 guidelines. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
