Custer, SD – With over 40 vendors the Santa’s Village and Craft Show held at the Custer High School saw a steady stream of Christmas shoppers looking for that special gift. A special treat was the arrival of Mr and Mrs. Santa Claus and the added bonus of two full tour buses full of shoppers visiting holiday events in the Black Hills. The event benefits the Custer YMCA Child Development Center.
