Santa Day in Brooten

The town of Brooten will host Santa Day and a celebration of the Christmas season on Saturday, December 7, 2019.

Beyond that, no other details have been worked out yet. Since the town has no viable civic organization, we are working to organize business leaders to "figure it out" - we will move heaven and earth to make sure Santa Day is pulled off and is a success for local youth to enjoy.

I want to put two rumors to rest:
1. there will be no Santa Day...that's not true. We will have Santa Day in Brooten! We have to ensure whoever is included in the planning is trustworthy and will communicate in an above-board manner with the public.
2. the Brooten Commercial Club will spearhead Santa Day just as they have for the past many number of years. Again, that's not true either. The Brooten Commercial Club is in the nasty vice grip of the Minnesota Department of Revenue. That is an ongoing process, and all I'll say to it is that it is ugly.
