“It’s just a really nice opportunity for all the different clubs, groups, churches to get involved, to fundraise, to open their doors and welcome the community in," said Danea Koss, Community Development Director. "So, it kind of just works really well. It kicks off our holiday season here in Ebensburg, It keeps the spirit of Christmas alive here in Ebensburg.”
