Santa Claus Will Be In Marietta Saturday

The Marietta Daily Times, December 15, 1932

Santa Claus will be in Marietta Saturday in his workshop that will be in front of the court house on Putnam Street Saturday. That merry old sprite, Mr. Claus, will keep regular office hours and will greet every child who visits him at his workshop Saturday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.

At certain times during the day Santa will give away candy to the children who visit him. The workshop itself is a delight to the children and interesting to the grown ups as well. On the walls are pictures of Humpty-Dumpty, and All the King's Horses are there and the cow is still jumping over the moon. If the children do not see Santa Claus in his famous workshop they will be missing a real Christmas treat.

The be-whiskered old Saint is going to make a visit of some days in Marietta and his workshop will be moved around to different places in the city. Just where it will be Monday has not yet been determined. That is up to Santa Claus to decide. He wants all the children and parents as well as other grown-ups to be sure and see him before he leaves Marietta. The interior of the workshop has been repainted and decorated especially for the children.

It's a long distance from the North Pole to Marietta, but old Santa Claus has made the trip so that no child will be disappointed. When Santa was in that parade through Marietta some time ago, he promised to return and Saturday he will be here.
