Santa Claus is coming to town this Saturday, thanks to the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.

This is his third Saturday in a row, so your chances to talk with him are excellent. This week he will be at Greg's Pharmacy, 126 N. Main St., from 10 a.m. to noon. You'll also probably meet him as he walks up and down Main Street from time to time during the morning.
