‘Santa Claus’ is coming to town wearing a mask, keeping his distance
“When you put on that red-and-white suit, it’s more than just clothing. It’s what it represents. For a lot of little kids, I could be their last best hope." -- Herman Wisneski of the Brainerd Elks

Recording his holiday message to Baxter second graders Friday morning at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, long time area Santa Herman Wisneski tells the story of "The Night Before Christmas" which will be broadcast to the Baxter elementary students. With COVID-19 restrictions in place, Wisneski has learned to adapt this season. His popularity is far reaching in Central Minnesota ranging from the Harding Horse Parade , family gatherings and a visit to the Brainerd Public Library to read for children.
