CITY OF MARTINDALE
Martindale hosted its Tree Lighting Ceremony, which was accompanied by a myriad of holiday activities including pictures with Santa Claus in the bed of a classic Model T truck and hot chocolate to warm the soul. The whole town was bustling with activity, particularly the local shops and restaurants that were filled with patrons seeking respite from the chilly bite of the winter weather. Children could also deposit their letters to Santa at the Martindale Community Library book return box, and letters with a return address would be responded to by Santa’s elves, also known as library volunteers.
