The Christmas Stroll is Back!

The popular Christmas stroll starts at 4 pm. East Main Street will be blocked off and filled with vendors offering everything from hot chocolate to chili. A variety of entertainment will be offered for your enjoyment, and of course, the Sidney merchants will be offering Black Friday specials until 7 pm.

The Village Square Mall will be the scene of lots of action with a gift wrapping station manned by the Boys and Girls Club of Richland County, cookie decorating for the kids, Toys for Tots drop off and more.
