The Indiana Department of Transportation has issued a permit to close State Road 235 this Saturday at Medora for that community’s annual Christmas Parade on State Road 235 between County Road 275 and Washington Street. INDOT says this will result in the state highway being closed from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

INDOT says that drivers will be routed around the parade site via County Road 275, Jackson Street and Riley Street.

Saturday’s Christmas Festival events begin at the Medora Senior Center with Breakfast With Santa. It continues at the public library with Selfies With Santa and Cookies with Mrs. Claus. Food and craft vendors open for business at 9 a.m. Live music precedes and continues after the mid-day holiday parade. At 8 p.m., a Christmas Ball will be held at the Medora Conservation Club.
