Smoky Hill Museum Holiday Open House set for Nov. 21

The Smoky Hill Museum will host a Holiday Open House from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at 211 W. Iron Ave. in downtown Salina. Admission is free.

The gathering is timed for families and friends already downtown for the seasonal atmosphere and the Parade of Lights. Interactive craft stations will offer Christmas-themed candles, traditional cornhusk angels and other handmade keepsakes.

Organizers say Pioneer Santa Claus may make a special appearance for photos.
