SPRING VALLEY, WI – The first annual Spring Valley “Winter Wonderland” event became a reality on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at noon with a visit from Santa at the Spring Valley Community Center. The stately Angie Rudd Star Belgians were on site to deliver Santa to the Community Center in their solid wooden wagon. This holiday happening was sponsored by the Spring Valley Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Spring Valley Public Library.
Over 105 people came to visit with Santa Claus, take memorable pictures and participate in several other activities – including a sugar cookie decorating station, two different crafts, letters to Santa, and wagon rides through the Village.
At 2 p.m., the 11th Annual Cookie Walk hosted by Spring Valley Area Ambulance (SVAA) kicked off. At 1:45 several people were lined up waiting in the lobby to be let in to make their selections after the 2023 Cookie Walk sold out in just fifteen minutes. With over 100 tasty platters to choose from, there were plenty of treats to take home to last through the holidays.
