Taylorsville Bennion Heritage REMEMBRANCES

The Taylorsville Historic Preservation Committee would like to show you a sampling of history from our previous “Saturday with Santa” events, starting in 2007 and continuing on with the current year’s ad found on Page 2 of this section.

In past years, Santa arrived on a retruck with sirens blaring after he had visited three other places. The locations and Santas have changed over the years, but the spirit of Christmas remains.

Join us for this year’s event on Dec. 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Taylorsville-Bennion Heritage Center museum, 1488 W. 4800 South. Saturday with Santa 2022 is sponsored by the Taylorsville Historic Preservation Committee, with support from the Taylorsville Parks and Recreation Committee. Enjoy children’s crafts and games, prizes for kids, tasty treats and local entertainment. We love this holiday tradition!
