Annual Christmas Fest next week

ODESSA—Christmas Fest will return this year at the community center on Wednesday, Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Odessa Junior Livestock 4-H club is hosting the event again this year and will have a hamburger booth set up.

Local craft vendors will ensure that holiday shoppers have a choice of something homemade. Many other vendors will also have many holiday gift ideas.

Live music will be going on throughout the day from local musicians.

Last year, the elementary 1-4th graders sang under the direction of music teacher Sam Harder.

Santa will make an appearance for photos in the afternoon.

Last year's Christmas Fest had an exceptional turnout, as it was the first after the pandemic.
