NEW BERLIN – The Spirit of Christmas celebration returns to New Berlin this weekend with craft vendors, snacks and a special visit by everyone’s favorite jolly old elf.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Village of New Berlin. In the morning, gifts and fruit baskets will be given to families in need that have pre-registered with the village offices.

“We’re trying to reach out to as many families in need as possible,” said New Berlin Mayor Terry Potter.

Craft vendors will be set up in the fire station with all proceeds going directly to the department. At 12:15, the Elves in Training of Little Foote’s Preschool will gather with the 4H Clovers Reindeer to sing four Christmas songs.
