Santa Claus will be making his annual stop in Hudson late Friday afternoon, Nov. 29, for a tree lighting to that will start at dusk.
The Hudson Department of Public Works recently set up the five large wooden toy soldiers, the manger scene, holiday lights, the large presents and the Santa display at Liberty Park at the intersection of Derry Road and Ferry Street earlier this week in preparation of the arrival of Old Saint Nick on Friday.
The soldiers were donated to the town 1995 by the Hudson Chamber of Commerce.
After the lighting, Santa will be whisked off by Hudson Fire Department to the Hudson Community Center at 12 Lions Avenue where he will be available for photos with the visitors.
Doors at the center will open at 4:30 p.m. and will offer a number of free activities for children until 6 p.m.
Members of the Hudson Lions will be on hand as well as other community organization. They ask to consider donating warm hats and mittens for those in need at the event.
