The Tarkio Christmas Celebration will be held at the Tarkio Community Building on Saturday, December 1, 2018, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Tarkio Lions Club will provide chili and hot dogs for those in attendance. The Mule Barn Theatre Guild will be holding an ornament making booth and kids can also make Christmas pictures and cards for Tarkio Rehab residents. Santa will also be on hand for pictures taken by the Tarkio Chamber of Commerce and “Letters to Santa” may be left at the event and will be turned in at the Avalanche so that they can be published in the Atchison County Mail newspaper. Vendors are also welcome to set up a booth at no charge (call 660-744-4049 and 660-736-5254). Don’t miss the fun!
