Sauder Village is gearing up for a full slate of holiday celebrations, inviting families and adults alike to step into the spirit of the season with a variety of festive experiences. The annual Merry & Bright evenings return this Saturday, and again on Dec.13, from 6-9 p.m. Guests can stroll a 1920s Main Street, explore historic buildings, and warm up inside candlelit cabins. Trolley and train rides, hands-on holiday crafts and a visit from Santa are also featured. The Soda Fountain will be open, offering classic treats and cocktails, and the museum store will feature locally crafted, one-of-a-kind gifts.
