Blue Bridge Coffee House is hosting a Silent Disco New Year's Party! Invite your friends and family to the Silent Disco and enjoy an evening of singing and dancing! Each ticket allows 1 person entry for 1 hour, and tickets are priced at $15 each! But what exactly is a silent disco? A silent disco is an event where participants dance to music heard through wireless headphones. Instead of a speaker system, music is transmitted via a radio signal that is received by wireless headphones worn by the attendees. Without the headphones, no music is heard, creating the impression of a room full of people dancing in silence. It's incredibly fun and an unforgettable experience you won't want to miss!

One of the standout events in St. Marys is Christmas in the Park. This festive tradition in St. Marys features Santa, who gives each child a stocking and a chance to sit on his knee. The park is filled with games and activity stations for kids. Children enjoy the Christmas train, cookies, hot chocolate, and the many costumed characters wandering through the park. This entirely free event truly spreads holiday cheer. Don't miss the opportunity to participate in the Gingerbread House contest and unwind in the park with blankets and hot chocolate as the day's activities conclude with a holiday movie.
