It was Santa Palooza in front of St. Gall Catholic Church at last year's Christmas Boutique.
It might only be October, but it is also 64 days until Christmas.
With the impending season of giving in mind, three Gardnerville gift fairs are scheduled for the first week of November.
The Highway to Heaven, better known as Centerville Lane, will feature two church fairs on Nov. 2.
St. Gall Church’s annual Christmas Boutique is 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 2 at the church, located at 1343 Centerville Lane.
The sale will feature an opportunity to have pets’ pictures with Santa, a raffle featuring gift certificates from local shops and restaurants from around the region.
Collectible vintage Christmas items are included for sale. A silent auction features a giant animated Mickey and a vintage theater Pinocchio string puppet.
Coffee will be provided by Valley roaster Blind Dog Coffee. The church is also hosting a bake sale.
