For the 20th consecutive year, families are invited to Kamms Plaza for a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. Join the fun on Friday, December 2, under the clock at 6 p.m. for a mini-concert and sing-along under the stars at the corner of Rocky River Drive and Lorain Avenue. The Academy Chorale of St. Joseph Academy will perform and invite all to join in singing crowd favorites. Sip hot chocolate provided free of charge by the Kiwanis Club of West Park, and enjoy the ceremonial turning on of the lights.

Then Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive by horse-drawn sleigh to lead everyone to the the indoor Winter Wonderland -- a free event sponsored by Kamms Plaza management.

These rooms also have beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The second floor has two bedrooms with more refinished original hardwood, built-in drawers, and a dormer desk. The full bath is beautifully finished with ceramic flooring and shower surround. Additional living space is in the basement area, including a full bathroom.

This was a formerly vacant home acquired through the Cuyahoga County Land Bank program, which works to eliminate vacant, blighted properties and returns them to productive use.  

Toy train displays are a family favorite for the holiday season, and Puritas Nursery offers one of the finest holiday model train displays in the region! That's why families return year after year to build fond memories of a cherished tradition. There is no charge to enjoy the variety of locomotives traveling through miniature villages and living vegetation inside the heated greenhouse at 19201 Puritas Avenue. While there, select a freshly cut Christmas tree, drilled with the "stay straight" system. The shop also offers a large selection of Christmas cactus, cyclamens, mistletoe, and air plants.

In addition, Santa Claus visits from 1 to 3 p.m. twice during the season: on Saturday, December 3 and 10. Personal photos with Santa are encouraged. Simply bring your camera. The trains run through December 31. For more information and photos from previous year's events, click here.
