Visitors can walk the display, visit Santa for free pictures, and decorate an ornament at the kids' station. Food and musical performances run through the open days, including the Grove City High School Choir, a children's chorus, and the shrine's own bands. Anyone attending can buy raffle tickets, ten for $5, and drop them at the trees they want. Specialty raffles for a cash tree, a lottery-ticket tree, and a gift-card tree are $5 per entry. Drawings for the trees happen after closing on the last public day, on the event's Facebook page. Winners pick up trees on Sunday, November 29, from 1 to 4 p.m. A sponsor-only evening on Friday, November 20, is not open to the public. The building is closed on Thanksgiving Day. ## Similar picks in Columbus - [Village of Williamsport Christmas Tree Lighting with Santa](https://grassyknees.com/columbus/activities/village-of-williamsport-christmas-tree-lighting-with-santa--listing-5cdd4917dee87dc739c4f28e) — Sat, Dec 5 · 5:30 PM · Williamsport Gymnasium · All ages · Free · checked Oct 30.
