The City of Wellman will be full of Christmas spirit on Saturday when area residents take part in a toy giveaway and the Light The Night event.

Beginning at 9 a.m. the Christmas Toy Giveaway is organized by the Wellman Volunteer Fire Department. With the help of anonymous donors and employees of Dollar General, approximately $3,000 have been received to purchase toys for children in the area. Parents are invited to stop by the Wellman Fire Station up to 11 a.m. to pick up toys. It is requested that children are not present when the toys are selected.

Following the toy giveaway, Wellman’s Light the Night event offers something for all ages to celebrate the holidays. Santa Claus is expected to arrive on a fire truck ten minutes prior to Light The Night, which begins at 3 p.m. Music and free treats will be available throughout the event, with the business and home decorating contest winners announced at 4:45. It all leads up to the tree lighting at 5. Light The Night is sponsored by the City of Wellman as well as the Wellman Community Club.
