Saturday, the Methodist Church had a great turn out for their Cookie Sale- along with gently used toys and decorations.

Sunday, the Town of Marshall hosted Santa for his annual visit to the Train Station.
Complimentary hayrides, cocoa, cookies, and chili, along with Santa's smiling face (and a small toy) made for happy visitors!  The frozen ground with light snow cover, but not too freezing temperatures made it an ideal year.
