Bernie, Missouri - The newly formed Bernie Chamber of Commerce is excited to invite you to an Old Fashioned Christmas in downtown Bernie on Saturday, December 10, 2016 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Outdoor Christmas Movie will begin at 4:30 p.m. and will run throughout the evening.  Be sure to bring a chair and a blanket!  The Christmas Classic surprise movie will be in the outdoor pavilion between Save U Tax Too and Otasco.

FREE Photos with Santa will be available next to Main Street Pizza.  Santa's sleigh will be located in the middle of Main Street between City Hall and Smitty's.

Christmas Toy Drive - so please bring a new toy, unwrapped for boys and girls of the Stoddard County Children's Home.  Santa's Sleigh and Elves will be set up in front of Main Street Pizza to help collect your gifts!  You don't want to bring a gift, financial donations will also be taken for the Children's Home.

The final activity of the night will be the Christmas Tree Lighting.  The Chamber asks that the community gather at 7:00 p.m. at the corner of Main St. and Hwy 25 for the lighting of the Community Tree.

Throughout the event, many downtown businesses will be open late.  Other businesses and churches will have booths set up doing crafts, snacks, and other activities for children and adults to enjoy.
