The business association has contributed refreshments and decorations for the event and much of the activities take place in the city hall. Of course, Santa Claus is present at the event, handing out gift bags and snacks for children provided by the Lions. A bake sale to raise funds for the after prom party at the high school has also been part of the festivities. Early Childhood Family Education has supplied a craft activity for the whole family to participate in. There have also been performances from bands, magicians, choirs, poetry readings, and recently, a brass ensemble has performed.
Children can also listen to story tellers, and there is a drawing held, as well.
The event is coordinated by Community Education. ShadowBrooke Golf Course, described by co-owner Tom Schmidt, is a contemporary golf course in a relaxed, country setting. It is located just north of Lester Prairie at the intersection of Highway 7 and McLeod Co. Rd. The course is an 18 hole public course with a 68.4 difficulty rating and a 116 slope. The course was long in the planning, and the original proposal for golf in Lester Prairie was pitched to Tom and Elmer Schmidt by Ed Mlynar, former mayor of Lester Prairie.
