Shenandoah’s Skydiving Santa tradition coming together for another year

SHENANDOAH – It’s not quite Christmas season until Santa Claus makes his high-flying entrance into Shenandoah, now is it?

It’ll happen again this year.

Mrs. T’s Pierogies sponsors the annual event and told the Greater Shenandoah Area Chamber of Commerce that the event is set for Nov. 28, Black Friday, at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Santa Claus and his elves will parachute into the football stadium on the west end at noon. Gates open at 10am.

Shenandoah Borough Council approved the event Monday night.

There will be face painting and Christmas characters, and the concession stand will be open.

The first 200 kids under 12 to stop by will receive a free gift.

This will be the 18th year Mrs. T’s Pierogies has sponsored the longtime Shenandoah tradition.

It returned after a hiatus for about 15 years. It was originally put together by the Shenandoah Merchants Association until the early 1990s.
