The YMCA of Van Wert County will again be hosting the holiday event, \u201cRockin\u2019 the Holidays at the Y\u201d this year.\u00a0 The event will be held on Friday, December 21, from 4:30-6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cRockin\u2019 the Holidays\u201d is a free, open to the public event that will be held under the big tents and Christmas lights on the front lawn of the Y.<\/p>\n

There will be something for all ages: Santa will be \u201criding\u201d in at 4:30 p.m. and sticking around for any free last minute professional photos with kids.\u00a0 Starting at 5 that evening, Fortress Band will rock out some holiday music until 6:30 p.m. Also during the event, cookies, chili and hot chocolate will be available for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Horse and carriage and wagon rides will be available during the entire event, as well as a chance to win some great door prizes, including tickets to a Shrek the Musical <\/em>performance at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center of Northwest Ohio, a $25 Pampered Chef gift certificate, a six-month Y membership and more.<\/p>\n

Anyone who joins the YMCA during the event will pay nothing until 2013. This is a savings worth up to $125 \u2013 with no joining fee or first month payment due at signing.<\/p>\n

The event is being made possible due to the following sponsors: Ace Hardware, Cooper Farms, DeShia, Gibby\u2019s Photography, Hughes Inn Bed and Breakfast, the Jim and Sue Price family, Laudick\u2019s Jewelry, Mulligan\u2019s Pub, P & R Medical Supply, The Fortress Band, The Times-Bulletin, Town & Country Carriage, Vanwert.com, Van Wert Manor, Van Wert Propane, The Van Wert independent, WERT\/WKSD Radio, Wilkinson Printing and the YMCA of Van Wert County.<\/p>\n
