Santa Land at the Black River Coliseum was a success

Wednesday, December 7, 2022

Santa Claus made a visit to Poplar Bluff for the 19th annual Santa Land celebration at the Black River Coliseum Tuesday evening. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses the event offers an abundance of booths for children to visit with crafts, prizes and snacks. This year the Poplar Bluff Municipal Library and Altrusa made a call to all bookworms to help them collect 1,000 children’s books to give out during the event.
