Things to do locally this Christmas
While the holiday will be quiet, there are a few things happening in the Yuba-sutter-colusa area for Christmas and Christmas Eve and there are some holiday-related closures.
Here’s what people can expect:
– Yuba Sutter Arts and Culture will host a free virtual reading of “The
Night Before Christmas” at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve (today) on the Yuba Sutter Arts Facebook page and Youtube channel. While the final list of readers is being kept a secret, it’s anticipated that viewers will be able to recognize several of those involved.
– The Williams Fire Department, 810 E St., Williams, will host drive-through Santa visits from 1-3 p.m. on Christmas Eve (today). Donning masks due to the pandemic, Santa, Mrs. Claus and a few elves will be handing out bags of fruit, nuts, candy and books to children in each vehicle. The Colusa County Office of Education And Literacy For All will also be there handing out free books. Attendees are asked to enter from the intersection of Eighth and D Streets. For more information, call 473-2269.
– The annual Yuletide Dinner will be served to-go at Friendship Hall at the Trinity Methodist Church, located at 511 Oak St. in Colusa, from noon-1 p.m. Christmas Day (Friday). The free holiday meal is open to the community but those interested in receiving a
meal must order one in advance. Meal delivery is also available for seniors unable to travel.
