The 10th annual Heart of Christmas Celebration will take place this Saturday in Valentine. Santa and his reindeer will be at the Security First Bank parking lot from 1 to 4 to meet with area children. There will also be a candy station hosted by the Berean Church Youth Group. Valentine businesses will feature specials to help start your shopping list.
