Santa Claus Day brings holiday cheer to Luseland

LUSELAND – Despite chilly temperatures, Luseland was alive with holiday spirit on Dec. 13 during the town’s annual Santa Claus Day. The event, organized by the Luseland Community Development Committee, saw local businesses open their doors with special promotions, draws, and treats for families.

A highlight for many was Santa’s Treasure Hunt, sponsored by the Luseland & District Chamber of Commerce. Children started the adventure with a visit from Santa at the community hall, receiving a treasure map before following a route through the business district. Along the way, participants completed fun challenges and created Christmas crafts at each stop.

High school students volunteered to assist younger children, helping the activities run smoothly throughout the day.

The celebration wrapped up with Santa’s return to the hall, where children received prizes and candy bags. Families also enjoyed a Christmas movie, sleigh rides through town, and gathered around a community bonfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows and sip hot chocolate before heading home.

The event was made possible through the efforts of the Luseland Community Development Committee, the Luseland & District Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, student volunteers, and the wider community. Santa Claus Day once again showcased the strong sense of togetherness and holiday spirit that defines Luseland.
