Holiday Fun Events for the Entire Family

The best gift shop near the Lake of the Ozarks loves being located in the lovely town of Eldon, Missouri.  Although we miss seeing our Jefferson City area friends as often as we used to, Eldon has given us more wonderful friends to add to our list. Although the town is smaller, they have big fun planned for the holiday season, beginning this weekend.  Good & Perfect Gifts would like to share a few of these events with you.  

Eldon's Home for the Holidays Parade & Celebration

November 21, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Beginning at 10:00 am, Eldon's annual holiday parade will make its way through town.  This year's theme is "Winter Wonderland."  Afterwards, head over to the Eldon Community Center for children's activities, a 50/50 raffle, and visits with Santa.  There will be live entertainment all day long., and food will be available from Maple Street Cafe.  

Eldon Community Thanksgiving Dinner

November 26, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

The Eldon Community Center will be serving a Thanksgiving Day Meal to anyone that would like to join in.  Home delivery is also available.  Please call 573-280-4956 for more information.  

Eldon Elementary PTO Breakfast with Santa

December 5, 8:30 am - 11:00 am

Bring the kids for a pancake and sausage breakfast with Santa Claus at the Eldon South Elementary School!  The cost of the breakfast is $3.00 per person, and photos with Santa are available for $2.00.  Parents As Teachers will be doing crafts with the children for free, and there will also be a Christmas book walk.    

Annual Christmas Luncheon

December 9, Noon - 1:00 pm

The Eldon Area Chamber of Commerce cordially invites the entire community to join them for this annual luncheon.  It will be held at the Eldon Community Center.  For $15, you can enjoy a buffet dinner including salad and rolls, roast beef and ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, brownie bottom pie and cherry cheesecake, and tea and water.  The lovely sounds of Christmas carols will be provided by the Eldon High School Chamber Chorale.  Please RSVP by December 1, 2015 by calling 573-392-3752.

Eldon's Hometown Christmas

December 12, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Bundle up and make your way downtown for a  hayride down Maple Street.  You will get to view all of the holiday decorations, including the living windows displays in many of the local businesses.  There will be refreshments, Christmas caroling, and photos with Santa.  The evening will end with Eldon's Mayor lighting the Christmas tree at Whittle's Pocket Park. Everyone is encouraged to bring an ornament for the community tree.  Lloyd Belt will also be taking donations for their annual toy drive. 


Just up the road from us, the Lake area will have all of their holiday light displays lit up right after Thanksgiving, and there are lots of shows and celebrations going on that are only a short car trip away from our Eldon gift shop.  We hope that you all get a chance to attend at least a few of the celebrations above.  

In between all of that fun, be sure to stop by Good & Perfect Gifts to get some of your Christmas shopping done.  While you are here, have something sweet from Sugar B's Cakes and Pastries with a cup of coffee and a little holiday conversation. We love visiting with our customers, and the Christmas excitement makes the conversations even better.
