Main Street Guthrie Center is hosting a new event this weekend to celebrate the holiday season and encourage families to get involved in their community and shop local.

For the inaugural Reindeer Express kids and adults will set off on an expedition to find all six reindeer in downtown Guthrie Center. All they have to do is pick up a Reindeer Card at one of six participating businesses and once they have it filled out they can head over to the Cabbage Rose restaurant where more activities will be happening, according to Main Street Guthrie Center Director Dana Buster, “In Cabbage Rose, Main Street will be doing cookie decorating and then we’re also going to do a craft in there and of course Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there. So we’re really excited about that as well as lots of the businesses downtown, they’re going to have specials that day or open houses with beverages and music playing and so it’s just going to be a really great day downtown.”

Participants’ Reindeer Cards will be entered to win a variety of prizes for kids and adults including restaurant and spa gift packages, a family pool pass, scooter, robot, and more. Reindeer Express will take place from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday.
